Minifix template for Standard and Metabox Blum

Professional Drilling Template: Solution for MINIFIX, STANDARD and METABOX

If you are involved in furniture making, whether you are a professional carpenter or an enthusiastic DIY enthusiast, you know that precision is the difference between quality furniture and disappointment. The combined template for Minifix, Blum STANDARD and Blum METABOX is an indispensable tool designed to ensure flawless precision when assembling cabinets and drawers.

What is this template?

This specialised tool is designed to eliminate the need for complicated measuring and drawing with a pencil and tape measure. It serves as a physical stop and guide that tells you exactly where to drill the holes for the most popular connecting elements and furniture guides from Austrian leader Blum.

Key features of the template

1. Minifix assemblies (eccentric connectors)

Minifix is the standard in modern furniture manufacturing. The system allows for easy assembly and disassembly of furniture, but requires extreme precision – the distance between the pin hole and the eccentric hole must be perfect.

• Advantage of the template: With this tool, you can fix the drilling centre exactly 34 mm from the edge of the surface. No more misaligned pages or mismatched angles.

2. Blum STANDARD runners

The STANDARD system is Blum’s time-tested technology for roller runners. They are economical, robust and reliable. The challenge with them has always been to ensure that the two runners are correctly levelled and parallel.

• How the template helps: Thanks to the fixed positions, you can mark the screw holes at a precise distance of 37 mm from the front edge (standard for system 32).

3. Blum METABOX system

METABOX are steel drawer sides that require specific fastening. Any drilling error is immediately apparent – the drawer may be crooked or not close smoothly.

• Precision installation: The template is marked so that it covers the mounting positions for the different side heights (N, M, K, H).

Technical characteristics and advantages

• Durability: Made of high-quality materials that are resistant to wear and tear from frequent use.
• Versatility: Suitable for working with 16 mm and 18 mm thick panels (chipboard and MDF).
• Speed: The preparation time for one cabinet is reduced by up to 70%.
• Reduction of waste: Reduces the chance of drilling the wrong hole to zero.

How to use

1. Positioning: Place the template on the edge of the panel.
2. Fixing: Press firmly or fix with a clamp.
3. Drilling: Use the appropriate drill bit (5 mm, 8 mm or 15 mm for Minifix) directly through the holes.
4. Result: You get a clean and precisely positioned hole.
