My choice would be for the 3/4" It is 70 lbs heavier...your choice is that good or bad? 3/4"..sturdier..but 5/8 sturdy enough..probably. cost..3/4" a little more...but in the big picture of the whole project, the $ of mdf...isn't where the $ goes. My biggest reason...as long as the T-mold will fit...3/4" is more universal in cabinet building, if you want to cap ends, add some solid wood...all 1x will match up. Gromets, hinges, lots of acces. are available for 3/4".... That's IMHO...good luck ;D |

Hi Gang. I'm a relative newby to mame however, i have been a carpenter / cabinet maker for 17 years. In my humble opinion, anything that size needs to use the thickest material you can use. 18 mm MDF is perfect for this. Although thinner MDF looks just as solid it will twist and warp if stressed too far. Also, the more depth you have to screw into the sturdier the cabinet will be. Hope that helped, if not i'll just stand in the corner and be quiet. :-X Voodoo Ray. 88 Acid Revival, Safe! |
