| Comment | I think I can picture what you're doing here - I've done some similar bodgery myself.
18mm + 12mm gets you to 30mm. If that extra 1mm is really going to be critical, put a thin washer underneath each screw when you fit the rack rail.
This means you can build up what you need using standard ply. B&Q sell pieces smaller than the standard 8ft - there might be something close to your 1660mm, alternately it's just a few cuts on their panel saw to get down to size.
The other option would be to use something like CLS and just rip it to the thickness required on a table saw. This will be cheaper and has far less wastage than using full sheets.
I guess it depends on the standard of finish you require. Most comms cabinets are hidden away like Harry Potter. If yours needs to look good, it might be easier to put some sort of veneer at the front than use solid oak. |
