End Scribe Clearance (Face Frame Only)

End scribe is the amount that the face frame overhangs the right or left end of the cabinet to accommodate out of square walls. This information appears in the assembly sheets so that the face frame can be place on the box correctly.

You can Specify Scribe for These Types of Cabinet Ends:

Finished End Scribe: Enter the amount of scribe for finished ends. (Note: scribes on finished ends are seldom used.)
Unfinished End Scribe (Cab to Cab): Enter the amount of scribe for the unfinished end of a cabinet that meets the unfinished end of another cabinet. (Often a space between unfinished end panels of cabinets is desired in case the walls are crooked. To prevent gaps at the faces of the cabinets, scribe is left on the face frame.)
Unfinished End Scribe (Base to Wall): Enter the amount of scribe for the unfinished end of each base cabinet that goes against a wall. (In case the wall is out of square, often one leaves a scribe for a base cabinet that abuts a wall.)
Unfinished End Scribe (Upper to Wall): Enter the amount of scribe for the unfinished end of each upper cabinet that goes against a wall. (In case a wall is out of square, often one leaves a scribe for an upper cabinet that abuts a wall.)
Unfinished End Scribe (by Appliance): Enter the amount of scribe for the unfinished end of a cabinet that is next to an appliance, such as a dishwasher. (Often, a scribe next to an appliance is used to make sure the appliance can slide in and out easily and can be shaved if necessary.)
Extended End Wall Clearance (Base): (Extended End may be a new term for some. Extended End Cabinets are the same thing as "Blind Corner Cabinets".) Enter the distance between the wall and the end panel of the base extended end. (In case the walls are out of square, one often leaves some distance here so that the line of cabinets is not affected.)
Extended End Wall Clearance (Upper): (Extended End may be a new term for some. Extended End Cabinets are the same thing as "Blind Corner Cabinets".) Enter the distance between the wall and the end panel of the upper extended end. (In case the walls are out of square, one often leaves some distance here so that the line of cabinets is not affected.)
Return End Scribe (Base): (Return Cabinets are simply the cabinet that is placed in the corner, adjacent to the Extended End.) Enter the amount of scribe for the return end of the base cabinet. (This allows a different scribe between the extended end and the return end in case the walls are out of square.)
Return End Scribe (Upper): (Return Cabinets are simply the cabinet that is placed in the corner, adjacent to the Extended End.) Enter the amount of scribe for the return end of the upper cabinet. (This allows a different scribe between the extended end and the return end in case the walls are out of square.)
Top Scribe for Upper Cabinets: If you hold the top of your upper cabinet down from the top of the top rail, enter the amount of scribe here.
Top Scribe for Full Height Cabinets: If you hold the top of your upper cabinet down from the top of the top rail, enter the amount of scribe here.
