I was at HD for a sheet of melamine this weekend. My first surprise was that an associate offered to help me get it onto the cart after I had pulled it off the stack. That's never happened before. However, then he tells me they don't cut down 3/4" sheets anymore. I told him that's new to me, and then he said just to take it to the back and he'd cut it.
Posted next to the saw was a sign that they stopped cutting 3/4" sheets of anything as well as plastic sheet goods and MDF. I asked him why, and he said because it eats up the blades. I told him I'd be more than willing to pay for the service in the future and they'd more than make up the cost for a new blade. There's no way for me to carry sheet goods home unless I break them down first or strap them to my roof rack which I really don't like doing.
I'll have to see if see if the other HD in town has stopped, too. How about in your towns? Are they still cutting 3/4" sheet stock?
