Tips from other designers
Occasional voids in the core mean that the edge will not be perfectly uniform.
The Birch VC measures closer to 5mm/0.196"
I also measured this material to be 5mm in thickness.
4.5mm / .177"? Not even close. My digital caliper says 5.25mm / .206". That's 17% off, people; you can't attribute 17% to margin of error.
SOMEONE needs to update these material sizes; I keep spending money on materials that are incorrectly sized!!!
I have updated the thickness values.
Hmm, I based my design on the new specified thickness of 5.2mm, but what I got was actually very close to 4.5mm. I guess there is just a lot of variation on the supplier side.
