    Excellent explanation. I realize this is more work than I want to tackle and am paying for professional installation. I almost bought just any microwave until I realized that I had to get one with the exact height as my old one so they don't have to cut my glass tile backsplash. Thank you!

    I just installed my microwave, I was repacking one that was already there.. I had the same problem with the back splash- I was looking to confirm how to handle it- I did not want to get into a messy cut of less than an inch, what I did as an alternative- I went and bought two pieces of 3ft x 4” pieces of good hard wood- it was 3/8 inch thick same as the marble- I put one across the bottom and one across the top of the open area and attached the bracket to the wood- came out like a dream- only negative you might find is it extends the microwave out an extra 3/8 inch but sure saved me a messy cut with a tool that I do not own at this time... thanks for sharing.

    • @twothreebravo
      @twothreebravo Před 5 lety

      I'm glad you mentioned this because I'm about to do the same thing because I didn't want to get into cutting the tile on the backsplash because it's very tiny glass tiles and I didn't wanto hack it up and have it look like hell to trim off a 1/2 inch.

    Wow. Saved me lots of money from Lowes install. And moving out the range is also a great idea so we don't drop it on the range and have to get a new range. The best of the best.

    • @ToolCraze
      @ToolCraze  Před 4 lety +1

      Glad my video was able to help out! Also, moving the range out of the way isn't so much about worrying about damaging the oven (though it is a positive side effect) but not having it there in the way makes the entire microwave removal and install so much easier.
