Hi, All,
I'm wondering what tolerence one uses when cutting pieces in general. I am currently making an end table from pine as a prototype for the 2 real ones for the LR. I can usually cut boards to 1/32 of an inch of what I had on my plans, but when assembled, I see small gaps or areas that I have to plane down.
I rather enjoy the "extra" woodworking, but am wondering if this due to being a poor woodworker, or if this is normal procedure. Same thing with right angles. I set the table saw up with a machinist's square, and a "tight eyeball", and get pretty good results, but can still get a 1/16 inch error on a 24 inch square board.
What do you guys get on the average?????
Thanks.....
