I've never understood this reference for wood sizing. Deos this mean the wood is nominally 1 1/4 thick
5/4 means ?

to confuse it even more it is the rough size before surfacing (most lumber has been surfaced). that means that a 4/4 board that has been surfaced (not rough) is going to be 3/4" thick. a rough 2" board is refered to as 8/4 but it will only be 1-3/4" thick.Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas EdisonComment

Yep! Metric is so dang superior! .30 Cal = 7.62mm and .223 cal = 5.56mm
What exactly is the difference? The placement of the decimal. Those that are endeared with the metric system good on ya but for those of us with no problems with whole number, decimals and the use of fractions I've little doubt we will wnat to change any time soon.
My bet is that even in metric places if you only want half of something that you get it cut in half, and if three people are splitting a pizza equally each will get one third! How the **** do you say that in metric?Last edited by Black wallnut; 01-27-2007, 09:16 PM.Donate to my Tour de Cure

Blimey.... didn't mean to get any knickers twisted.
All I was saying was that everything is a sensible number...ie 19 mm not .1905 (3/4)
IMHO fractions are a pain in the arse. I have to use a special calculator to work this stuff out.Comment
