If I were forced to do it again, and had access to the necessary
equipment, I reckon I'd use =10mm thick aluminum plate for the
cabinets, and not wood.
If you can machine 10mm ally plate, you should be able to machine
wood.
I can't.
That surprises me. I do a fair amount of work with pure, soft aluminum,
using what are nominally woodworking tools, only with carbide-tipped blades
and bits. IOW, a I use a table saw, drills, disc sanders, and various
flavors of what are basically routers. Of course you have to watch out for
and stay away from aluminum alloys like 6061 that are more like mild steel,
feed a bit more carefully, etc.
