The Sawtooth™ Shelf System is the revival of a
method to make shelves adjustable in cabinetry and millwork that has
been used for hundreds of years. The system consists of wood supports in
each corner of a cabinet. These supports hold adjustable cleats to
rest shelves on. The triangular cut or "sawtooth" cut in
the support piece needs to be very accurate and was historically made
with hand tools by skilled craftsmen. This detail was lost as the cost
of labor rose and less labor intensive methods become available.
The Sawtooth™ Shelf System includes technology that can recreate
this triangular cut accurate to within .005" in a cost effective
way, giving the modern woodworker access to this beautiful and useful
cabinet feature.
