Hi there,

Firstly, love your work.

Secondly I bought the plans for the Saw-Router table and am going through them, however I have an issue in that the plans all seem to have the plywood dimensions in MaxCut at 2500*1250. In my country everything appears to be 2440*1220.

Also, the widths are different, you list 9mm, 10mm (mdf), 18mm and 20mm

Here I can get 9mm and 18mm but not 20mm in the plywood and 9mm for the MDF instead of 10mm.

Is this going to cause problems for me ?

thanks.

Can't wait to get started.

I think you may be talking about phenolic or MDF boards that they are normally 2440*1220. Plywood, they normally are 2500*1250mm. Anyway if you want to adapt it to whatever the size of your board is, you only have to open MaxCut and insert new sheets with the dimenssions you want. It is so easy, take a look of my MaxCut tutorial if you don't know how to:

Don't worry about that you can use 9 instead of 10 and 18mm instead of 20mm to the Top with no problems. If you can't find it with melamine, you can give a few of coats of varnish, sanding it after every coat and it will work nice.

Hi

I have the same issue in New Zealand. All the boards are 2400mm x 1240mm. If I change the sheet size in maxcut and then re-optimise, all the numbers change on the cutting list and then they're not the same as the drawings anymore. Is there a way to prevent that?

Thanks

Hmmm, Well, that's interesting, the only boards I can find that are 2500*1250 are in fact Phenolic ones.

Everything else, and I really do mean EVERYTHING (!) is 2440*1220.

I only have a mac at the moment, so I'll try to either work it out, or get some virtual software installed that lets me use MaxCut.

Thanks.

Settings > Layout > Layout Grouping - Change to numbers

Although, having just checked, the numbers don't correlate to the originals, so my guess is there's another setting somewhere or you'll just have to measure and work it out yourself.

Hi,
like heppy said, you have to go to Settings > Layout > Layout Grouping but select "Panel Name" not "numbers"
It will work this way

You are both genius! That works perfectly. Thanks very much.
