18mm is = to .7087 inches

3/4" is .7500 inches

Go with the 3/4 and just trim it a bit.

well there's 2.54 centimeters in an inch...or 25.4mm...
so...
18 / 25.4 = .7 inches...

For 18mm MDF you need 11/16". The more common 3/4" is 19mm.

Atleast... that's what it says on this site; http://www.vectrex.nl/mame.html
Don't blame me if it's wrong :P

I have used 0.75" T-molding for 18mm wood. I haven't trim it, because it looks much better without a trim. You can only screw up with trimming the T-mold.
It just stick out half a millimeter or so.
