That's what I asked the guy running the panel saw today. I had two sheets of T-111 and requested they be cut to 82 and a quarter". Odd size I know, but I had a reason. 82 1/4 is the size I needed. I could have bought full sheets and cut them at home, but I didn't have the trailer with me and I have an older Tahoe that I can only get an 84" length fully inside flat.

He gets out his tape measure, lays it on the panel, looks at it, looks at me and asks 'that's 1/4, isn't it?' I say, yes. He then marks it with a sharpie and cuts it while I'm watching. I asked him if he wanted to cut them both together so they would match ... 'No, I'll do them separate'.

I wasn't paying as close attention when he cut the second one and we laid it on the flat cart. He then headed off to the morning huddle. As I went to line up the two sheets, I noticed they were not even close. Found a tape and checked the second one .. 84 inches.

Oh well, I'll correct it at home. At least it fit inside.
