[ATM] OT plywood

[georgea at cam.org (George Anderson)]

Hi Ron

If you want really top grade cabinets buy either "baltic birch" or
cabinet grade plywood. It makes a big difference in the end product (and
a difference in price but it is worth the difference). And as mentioned
before, a router with a guide makes better dados in plywood than a dado
blade in a saw. The catch is that much of todays plywood is actually
dimensioned in millimeters, so 1/2" thick isn't quite a 1/2". They sell
special router bits sized for the "new" 1/2" ply.
