Dividers & Grooves

Machining custom dividers, grooves and predrilled holes is always easier to do before assembly. Plan out your interiors and simply provide a drawing that shows the location and spacing of your dividers grooves or holes. Avoid last minute reworks, have Western Dovetail do the work. Holes can be drilled in the fronts for drawer face attachment.
