Hi Ken,
Yes, the MOTM rails are great -- very sturdy. The only problem I see would be
getting the "ears" in the vice at the exact distance to bend for a perfect
width rail (especially if one were to do this repeatedly for building several
cabinets at once, but you could set up a jig -- a stop on your vice -- to
facilitate this). A similar idea would be to just cut the ears off, but they
seem perfect for mounting to the sides considering they are bent in the wrong
direction.
