Having become a holder of a set of cabinet furniture, the happy owner turns out to be one on one with a lot of separate parts and fasteners, from which it is necessary to combine fully functional items: cabinets, bedside tables, shelves and other components of the furniture set.
There are two ways: to call the masters of furniture assembly, which in a few hours will professionally collect and install all the furniture items on the right place.
Well, they will get a lot of money for this work. However, a real master will try to solve the problems of assembling the purchased furniture himself.
And here surprises are possible. First, for the assembly of furniture you need to have a set of tools.
Secondly, the furniture may have holes that are not needed, and do not have holes that are needed for assembly.
And, thirdly, drilling holes in thin panels from chipboard also requires considerable skill and skill.
The conductor for furniture assembly is designed to facilitate individual assembly operations, especially drilling operations.
This conductor can be not one, but several different for individual assembly operations.

There are some conductors, industrial production, which are used when assembling furniture by professional masters.
However, there are a number of conductors that you can make with your own hands and use them to build your own furniture, as well as to help good neighbors.
When assembling furniture, there are two operations that can be combined with a self-made conductor.
Generally speaking, the conductor is a device that allows the same to perform certain operations, for example, drilling.
Given that the walls of the furniture are fairly thin, improper drilling can lead to damage to components and worsen the appearance of new furniture.
So, the simplest conductor for marking and drilling holes. The basis for the conductor is a piece of reinforcement square section, for example, 10x10 mm.
Cut the hacksaw with the required size bar and clean it using a file and a skin. It is necessary to get the correct parallelepiped.
Next, the centers are marked out for drilling template holes.

From the edge, the center should be spaced at a distance of eight millimeters, this corresponds to half the thickness of the chipboard board, the step between the centers of the holes must be 32 mm, which corresponds to the furniture standard.
We drill holes with a diameter of 5 mm along the planned centers.
Then we make the support of the furniture conductor from a metal plate with a thickness of up to 1 mm and a width of 25 mm.
We bend the plate at right angles, fix it in the clamp together with the drilled piece of reinforcement and drill the holes for the threaded connection.
After threading, we connect the two parts of the conductor into a single unit.
The conductor for furniture assembly, in its simplest version, is ready for use in the process of furniture assembly.
With its help, you can safely drill holes in the ends of the chipboard without the fear that the drill will go crooked and come out on the surface of the plate.
Such simple conductors greatly facilitate the assembly process and protect the furniture against possible integrity violations. There are other types of conductors for the installation of fittings and other operations.
