Rafix Drilling Pattern

Look up the Rafix cam diameter, drilling depth, and edge distance for a given connector system.

Description

Look up the Rafix cam diameter, drilling depth, and edge distance for a given connector system.

Rafix Drilling Pattern: Look up the Rafix cam diameter, drilling depth, and edge distance for a given connector system.

When to use Rafix Drilling Pattern

Use this workshop calculation to turn measured dimensions and the selected construction convention into a cut, spacing, fit, or material-planning value.

Rafix system
Rafix connector system: rafix-20 or rafix-22.

How Rafix Drilling Pattern works

Look up the Rafix cam diameter, drilling depth, and edge distance for a given connector system. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Cam diameter (mm)
Cam diameter in millimeters.
Drilling depth (mm)
Drilling depth for the cam housing in millimeters.
Edge distance (mm)
Center distance of the cam housing from the panel edge in millimeters.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Nominal dimensions, kerf, moisture movement, hardware clearances, wall squareness, and manufacturer instructions can change the required shop dimension. Measure the actual assembly and test critical joints on scrap before cutting finished material.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Complement the calculated dimension with a physical story stick, dry fit, or full-size layout. Follow the hardware, coating, adhesive, or machine manufacturer's limits where they differ from a rule of thumb.
