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.
Chinese plywood?
The cheapest crap you could buy?



And oddly very often better quality than domestic costing 30% more.
No, the cheapest you can buy is very seldom better than higher priced
domestic. There is good imported stuff that is cheaper than domestic -
and possibly better - but that's not "the cheapest you can buy"
