moetpoppin Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hey I was wondering if this was normal? I got a sheet of MDF and was a little confused. Ive been using 48 inches and 96 inches in all my calculations for the box im gonna build. But today I went out to the garage and held a 48" strait edge to the wood and it was too short. Turns out my MDF sheet is 49"x97" Is this typical? I'm guessing its so you can make cuts and still have wood to work with rather than losing wood with every extra pass of the saw blade. That way you can make as many blade passes up to an inch. let me know thanks Ty TY Moet poppin', hoe hoppin', aint no stoppin' B.I.G. poppa, I'm a bad boy Party and Bullshit - The Notorious B.I.G. Honest estimate on this truck when it's all done........... 172.3........... Ehh.. U are aware of what 172.3 is, right? yep.....

moetpoppin Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 cool man thanks for lettin me know, i was starting to think i had shrunk or all my tools were messed up but the measurements have been confirmed by 2 rolls of measuring tape, a strait edge and other objects of standard size I am actually psyched about my extra inch of wood, it adds an extra square foot of wood should give me more volume when i build my box =) ty TY Moet poppin', hoe hoppin', aint no stoppin' B.I.G. poppa, I'm a bad boy Party and Bullshit - The Notorious B.I.G.

cubs_fan0718 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 A saw blade takes off like a 1/16 of an inch with every cut so remember to add that into account 06 Impala SSKenwood Excelon DDX593 Ampere Audio 150.4 Ampere Audio 5K1 XS D4700 (front)Mechman 320a Alt. w/ Big 3 Lots of Second Skin Damplifier Under Construction for 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moetpoppin Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 yeah its cool, I am cutting it basically across, so i will be gaining an inch on the width, but I am going to be making the cuts and losing that 97th inch. however, my box should be 49 wide =) in my box building program it will be adding a 1/10th of a cubic foot... I'll take that TY Moet poppin', hoe hoppin', aint no stoppin' B.I.G. poppa, I'm a bad boy Party and Bullshit - The Notorious B.I.G.
