When I was doing plywood and 2X4 woodworking I would be satisfied with "close enough". Then after buying expensive QSWO and other furniture grade lumber I decided to get some decent measuring tools and have been very happy with the results. I typically use a couple of Incra tools now and the tolerances have come way down.

I concur. Anyhting less than 1/64th is probably irrelevant. Remember, we are working with a living media. It is gonna move. All the hoopla over .005 " of runout on a saw blade is crap.quote:Originally posted by Stytooner
I can get greater than a 1/64th" accuracy with the micro-positioning device. I am pleased with a 64th accuracy on my chessboards, box joints and tenons. 1/4" for rough carpentry is pretty sorry. [}

1/16" or better is desired.

Now rough work? Had a fella on my crew years ago when I hung drywall for a living. His previous experience had been doing piecework in CA where even then they were specialized. One crew hung the ceilings, another came in and did walls. Different piece rates for each. His favorite saying was, "It'll tape." We worked by the hour, and the little extra time it took to leave a corner intact, or a butt joint closed made up for the additional time it took the finishers to fix the mess.
Putting in a window over the weekend with an opening underneath for an AC I had a horizontal member that did not friction fit where a hammer tap was needed to get it in place. In fact it was so bad that I could actually see a little light along part of the edge. Tossed that 2 X 4 to the shorts pile and recut it so I didn't have to hold it by hand to measure the length of the uprights that went under it. With that kind of attention to detail I'd get fired on the typical framing crew, but the window, when set into the opening was plumb and level without shims underneath, and the AC fit right snug in the opening under it.

If LOML can see the joint, it's too big. LOML can spot a virus at 200 yards, but can't see coloring books, magazines, or toys on the living room floor.
Consulting - If you're not part of the solution, there's good money to be made prolonging the problem.
