What's the deal with this crappy plywood!?
There was a day when the squarest, straightest, flattest thing in the
room was a sheet of plywood.
I'm working with 54 sheets of 1/2" 4-ply BC and at least half of them
aren't square. I realize I'm not talking about $75 Baltic birch cabinet
grade stuff, here, but can we at least get it down to 1/8" or closer?

I'm sure when the machines are cranking this stuff out, they can adjust
the cutters periodically. How difficult is is it? I guess I wouldn't
be so ****ed off if it weren't for the fact that I've gotten "expensive"
plywood that was crooked, too.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the last sheet I ripped had a big
bubble pop up in the middle because it wasn't glued. Yeah, it looks
like two 8ft. pieces of pita bread.



I have taken plywood back when the surface is not glued down.
Additionally, and this will confuse you even more, my supplier offers
donestic and import plywood. Domestic is always more expensive and not
always better. ;~(


The stuff that opened up in the middle after cutting will be going back.


Unfortunately it will only be going back to the store that you bought it
from and maybe, just maybe, the distributor. Odds are it will never make
it back to the manufacturer for inspection and possible process improvement..

You'll get your money back but the problem will still exist.
