But the shims are not all sizes. If you get Imperial - e.g. an

If you are in 3/4 it isn't and wood plank - as well... Ply is
coming from sites world wide. Some hardwood and some softwood.

I have no issue what so ever using the standard Forrest dado set to
cut for any plywood. You do not need standard and metric. Any more,
hardly any wood veneer plywood is consistent in thickness.


I agree. Any more, if you get a sheet that is the exact specified
thickness, they got lucky. :-)

Heck, you're probably better off having a metric set for "Imperial
plywood" and an Imperial set for "metric plywood." Given the over-under
of each, you're likely to get a better fit with the opposite set.
