DIY Minifix installation (furniture cam lock and nut)

Показать описание
Making a chipboard furniture block using minifix or eccentric connector.
These types of connections are also known as camlock or cam nut fittings.
The block I made is the upper right part of my kitchen furniture.
Usually, chipboard sheets are connected using screws. Screws are reliable and very easy to install however, they have two disadvantages. First, the furniture made with screws is impossible to dismantle and reassemble. Second, the screws are visible.
In this furniture, it is not required to be reassembled so I am using a combination of both connectors – screws for invisible corners and minifixes for visible corners.

The reason why you use cam locks is so you can dismantle the unit that's why you don't use GLUE! If you want to use GLUE use screws that way you get strongest joint

Էս մետաղյա ֆուտոռկաները չհավանեցի։ Շաբլոնիս վտուլկեքը 5, 6, 8 ու 10 են, իսկ սա ուզում էր 7, քանի որ 8-ով միքիչ լայն էր ստացվում, ու մեկումեջ ծուռ էր մտնում, հետն էլ զենկովկա պիտի պարտադիր արվեր։ Պլաստիկ ֆուտոռկա էլ փորձեցի, առանձ սոսինձ լավ չէր ամրանում, շտիֆտի հետ պտտվում էր։ Հիմա էլի 5մմ (6.3 պարուրակի լայնություն) սամորեզ տարբերակին եմ անցել (Hafele) արագ ու հուսալի ա ստացվում, շաբլոնով էլ միանգամից ծակում եմ։

As so many have said, this makes NO sense to me. Why would you use dowels and glue when you are using a camlock system??? If you are using the camlocks to pull the pieces together, have you ever heard of clamps? If you want a knockdown piece, use camlocks only. If you want a permanent connection, use dowels and glue only. I just don't get

I hate video instructions only! It would be helpful if you verbally describe what you are doing, or is this a video for Ikea?
