5/8 plywood

[johnd23]

So I've been playing with the design of the cabinet I plan on building. I'm going to be following the Lusid plans, but slimming it down about 12" (in depth) because i'm going to use an LCD. I would like to go with plywood vs mdf to save on weight. I am looking to use 5/8 plywood.. the closest i can find around here is 19/32 which is only 1/32 off. Anyone else use that size before? I plan on using laminate on both sides which should bring it up a hair smaller than 3/4. I can only find that size plywood in CD grade or sheathing. Being as I am going to be using laminate it shouldnt matter about the grade correct?

For the control panel i plan to use the same 19/32 and then get 1/8 plexi and 3/4 tmolding. I'm hoping to start the control panel tomorrow if everything goes as planned.

Ya I couldnt find 5/8 in a good grade at home depot here either.  I bought a low grade, but once the laminate went on it's fine, you cant tell at all.  Only extra thing I had to do was wood fill a few knot holes.

Did your 3/4 T-Mold sit flush with the Laminate and the 5/8 ply?
The reason I ask is, I recieved my sample 3/4" T-Mold from T-Molding.com but after installing it in a 3/4" ply test piece I have about an 1/16th on each side that is sitting proud.
I just recieved the 5/8" samples but have not check them in the test piece yet.
I also havent been to Home Depot to check the thickness on the Laminate, I was going to paint but after all the "looking back" advice here, I will probably laminate especially if its a 1/16" thick

Yep it was a tiny bit bigger, but ended up working out better.  I ran a chisel at 45 degrees along the entire edge and it trimmed perfectly flush.
