"I think it may have been set too tight. But not being there I won't say for sure that's it. However when you set the clamp to the woods thickness they recommend 2 clicks. That clamp is plenty tight enough set at 2 clicks."

"I've found that with Euro hinges and the profile I route into the edges that I need to use thicker stock for the rails and stiles of my cabinet doors. I make mine ⅞" and no longer have a problem."

Hey, thanks for friending me. The shop cabinets you made seem to have a green tint to the finish. (Although it may be a wood tone?) - if green, what did you use? I'm putting together a project that I am looking for a color as that? And the wood you used? Thanks.
