The same template hole is used to drill all 4 shelf pin holes for a particular shelf location, so the shelf will never rock. It doesn't need to be perfect, as long as it is registered off the same surface. Therefore, my templates have 3/8" holes, and their 1/2" thickness is just right to let the drill bit bottom out on the plywood surface to drill the proper depth of hole.Įdit: By the way, I'm sure someone is sitting there scratching their head wondering how a plywood template can be accurate enough to not have the shelves rock. The drill bit below is exactly what I use. (I don't like seeing holes go all the way top-to-bottom. I just drill them all for that particular template. That way I don't have to remember when to start or stop drilling holes. I also keep specific templates for all common cabinet heights. For example, for an entertainment cabinet, I use a shorter hole spacing to account for keeping the shelves tighter to the contents.

So I have a whole series of templates specific to various cabinet styles. Once you have one template that is carefully made, replicating it in any length is just a matter of using one template to make the next. So the first hole is 6 to 8 inches from the bottom, and the top hole is proportionally spaced from the top, depending on the style of the cabinet.

No one would ever install a shelf 3" off the bottom of a cabinet, for example. I also don't just blindly drill the holes top-to-bottom. That's not a problem if your cabinets are separate boxes for each opening, but if you build cabinets with multiple openings and dadoed partitions, then it becomes more critical. Part of the reason I prefer to drill the holes after the cabinet is assembled is to ensure that all 4 corners are registered off the same surface. I prefer to drill the holes after the cabinet has been assembled, but it is just as easy to do with un-assembled components too. I use 1/2" thick by 2" wide templates with the holes slightly off-center so I can offset the holes on opposite sides of a partition without the holes intersecting each other. An entire cabinet can be completed in less than 60 seconds, depending on the number of holes of course. By the time you've made your setup to begin work, I've finished with the entire cabinet and moved on to the next. I simply use a self-centering drill bit and a 1/2" plywood template with the hole spacing I need.
