Doing a shelving job in an alcove for a relative well off my usual turf. I called into a local B&Q (an act of desperation I know) and had some plywood cut into strips so I could easily transport it to site where I could cut it into rectangular/ trapezoidal pieces on a sliding compound mitre saw.
I wanted one strip 300 wide and four strips 200 wide running the full length of the sheet.
Seeing them actually cut the stuff they only made two set ups. I left my tape in the car so couldn't check the accuracy of the cuts in the store.
The 300 cut was a couple of mm over, probably a basic misunderstanding of kerf, but the 200 strips were even more out - I had two strips at
205mm and two at **225mm**How the hell can they cut 25mm oversize while keeping the same bloody setup? That's the best part of an afternoon wasted.
Useless f*ckers. I could cut more accurately with a blunt axe.
