Sharp MW drawer and electric cord run

9/12/21       
Gene Davis

This is gonna be frameless, and the cab is in an island with 12" deep cabs backing to what you see.

A careful read of the dimensions, tells me there is a space of 7/16" between the body of the unit and the side of the cabinet. I want to run the power cord DOWN that side near the rear, through the void behind the lower drawers, through the deck, where we can plug it to a floor outlet in the 4" toekick space.

If you have build these in frameless, and with the appliance on hand, is this a way to run the power?

We don't want to go into the cabinet behind.

Looks like all the various drawings your building a new house? Why not have your electrical sub advise you. Providing a chase to power an appliance is pretty rudimentary if your a cabinet shop. Doesnt require much consideration.

I'm doing the eCabinets models in order to generate the CNC files for cutting the cabs. The electrical sub has been instructed on drawings to wire to a top-of-floor mounted recep in a location marked by the kitchen installer. That is the extent of the sub's powering of this appliance.

I've done a dozen of these Sharps but always with the cabinet backing to a wall. Now we have an island situation.

I'm told but have not witnessed that the power cord with plug end is 3 feet long. If that can be verified, and the wire itself will fit into a 7/16" gap, we're good.

If you've done a dozen of these exact units how can you, or someone in, or associated with, your company, not know what will work and what will not?

That simply does_not_compute.

Its still a phenomenal place for answers for those in business but a bunch of questions feeling your way through a cabinet build (12 identical units in the past) is a bit of a stretch. I mean come on man? We are asking about routing and "plugging in" a cord" Thats a condition directly routed to your electrician.. is the receptacle code and accessible? is the receptacle in the location planned even allowed" Will the appliance need to be direct wired instead? These are not "cabinet making" questions.. You cant burry a receptacle/device... period. You would be unwise to create a "pinch point" for a corded appliance regardless of a "7/16" cord diameter"..

You dont build a spice n' oils pull out 10 years ago with side mount slides laying on the flat and then suddenly realize you ran ONE on the vertical and a woeful second on the flat up top as a guide.

It make no sense.

i'll say it again . really hard to get positive answers that can help you Gene.

There are not too many positive answers to be gleaned from routing factory wired MW plug. If your truly confined to the diameter of the cord your likely in a pinch point at the strain relief coming out of of the back of the appliance (unless you know based on your last 12 identical units that the cord comes out of the top or bottom or a stamped up/down relief in the rear of the unit).

Sorry to sound like douche but every photo and every question is from the same render. Maybe its a 52 unit condo complex but again, cross posting, and a spice pull out with two slides on the flat is kind of odd for anyone who's had a side mount slide in their hand for more than a nano-second. You'd simply never draw that.. EVER..

Is what it is.. dont be a whiney babie

I've also done a dozen or more of those, but most were FF cabinets. If I remember correctly, there would be room for a surface mount box in either the upper right, or upper left of the opening. I think those don't use a plug, and are wired directly into a junction box, so maybe you could use a box for a 2" wall.

Another thought would be put the box behind the drawer in the cabinet to the right, or behind the drawer below the unit.

  • WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.
  • Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.
  • A valid email return address must be included with each message.
  • Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.
  • Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.
  • "Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.
  • Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.
  • Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
  • Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).
