We have continued to expand our partnership with Intelligent Fixings, configuring more of their hardware to work with our cabinet software PolyBoard.
We first heard great things from our customers about the PEANUT cabinet connectors, along with these we’ve added the PEANUT drawer slider, also designed to be applied without tools.
Some of the benefits of the PEANUT system:
- Strong
- Self-clamping
- Fast and easy cabinet assembly
- Allows for reassembly
- Flush and invisible options
- Works with nesting CNCs, side drilling machines and hand held router/jig
- Glass fibre reinforced nylon
Cabinet connectors for all occasions
PEANUT 1
Requires only vertical machining so perfect for nesting CNCs, the PEANUT 1 sits flush with the material.
PEANUT 2
Works with both side drilling machines or a hand held router used in combination with a jig also supplier by Intelligent Fixings. Invisible too!
PEANUT 2 Short
This smaller version is well adapted to mitred joints and end to end connections.
PEANUT 3
It’s a solid component so unlike the PEANUT 2 it isn’t fixed in place with a screw. Used in conjunction with side drilling machines.
Tool free drawer sliders
PEANUT drawer runners utilise the same connection technology as the panel fittings, allowing for a simple clip-in to the cabinet interior. No screws or tools are required, to remove lift and release the locking tail.
The images below showcase the clip-in and removal features:
Highlights include:
- Accommodates drawer lengths of 250mm to 550mm
- Up to 30kg load
- Push-to-open and soft-close options
- Single and full extension versions
- Utilises the same T cutter required for the panel connectors
PEANUT set up in PolyBoard
The most efficient way to add hardware to your cabinets in PolyBoard is to use a Manufacturing Method. These are collections of style sheets that define your preferences for materials, drawer and door set up, edging and lots more…plus of course the hardware you like to use.
We’ve already set up these connectors, so just add the PEANUT to your preferred Manufacturing Method and apply with the click of a button to your projects. The machining details will be available automatically for your CNC, and displayed as well in the workshop plans.
These images show the PEANUT 1 in a PolyBoard cabinet (click to enlarge):
Please note, our PEANUT configurations are designed to work with CAD CAM software like VCarve, in conjunction with CNC manufacturing. Also required is the use of a macro.
We have included a selection of macros for popular CNC suppliers including Biesse, Felder, Holz-her, Homag and SCM/Maestro (provided by Intelligent Fixings). Please contact us if you require support on the setup.
