I had the idea to stack 2 wall cabinets on a base cabinet. I wanted to cover them with a side panel so that the junction of the two wall cabinets is not necessarily visible. I have seen this once at Ikea. Unfortunately, I didn't ask how they did it :rolleyes:. The side panels come in different sizes. That means I have to take a side panel from a tall cabinet. These are too high and too deep! Do you have to saw them to size? Doesn't the coating come off then? I am open to all ideas.

Best regards fine

Hi,

there are always wall cabinets shown stacked on top of each other. For this, a 195 end panel is used and shortened in height and depth. This must of course be done "sensibly," so that the cut edges are ultimately not visible. Tape the edges you cut with masking tape and use proper tools. A jigsaw with a new blade or even a table saw, then nothing will fray.

Hello Fine!

I have already had the cover panels for our kitchen cut in all variants, no problems and it looked perfect. I am bringing up the post again because I want to share a suggestion or recommendation. Nayla gave a good tip with the jigsaw or table saw with a new, sharp saw blade.

I'm not bad at DIY, but I can't get a straight cut with a "typical" home jigsaw at all, and I also can't imagine it with the "usual" table saws. A straight cut, I mean!

We have a combined carpenter / DIY market nearby that also cuts brought-in material. If someone is reluctant to buy an otherwise pointless electric saw and also doesn't enjoy sawdust and rough cut edges, they should consider such an option.

My shop cut all cover panels of our kitchen for left, right, bottom, and top including a groove for invisible cable routing of the LED diode lights for just under 75 euros. Everything is perfectly straight, nothing was cut incorrectly or frayed.

You might have to find such a service provider, but it was worth the effort for me; I'd be extremely annoyed with such a crooked edge, and replacement cover panels really cost a lot!

Hello fotokatze,
thank you very much. I think we have 2 hardware stores that offer that. I will inquire about it tomorrow right away.

In a carpentry workshop, you can also have it cut to size. You can get more there than in most hardware stores.
