We got a stove, and it's ⅛-¼" too wide for the space. I am pretty sure that with ⅛" I could fit the stove in.

The face of the cabinet is poplar. The side is ¾" cabinet ply. The top is quartzite (natural stone).

The stone is set about 5/64" shy of the surface of the ply on the side of the cabinet that I'd be removing wood from (side up against the surface of the other cabinet). And on the other side, the stone is about 1/32 proud of the surface of the plywood/side of the cabinet.

The stone top seems to be "glued" to the top of the cabinet. Removing the stone to trim down and put onto a new cabinet will likely involve lots of time spent with an oscillating multitool which sounds like a PITA.

I hate to rebuild a cabinet if I could "shave" the existing cabinet down enough to make it work. If I give it a shot and can't make it work, then all that I've done is wasted some of my time since the cabinet won't work as it sits anyway. Saves me having to buy a bunch of plywood and poplar and build a cabinet if it does work.



What do you guys think?
