Went to Home Depot today to buy 1/4" peg board and some 1x3 to trim it out with and had them cut the 1x3 into 48" pieces. Got home and guess what? The 1x3 was 1/4" short or 1/4" long! I know the kerf would leave them all a little short, but all the pieces should be the same! The peg board was not 1/4, it was not 1/8, it was between 1/8 and 1/4! Went on the net to peg board web pages and they warned of buying pegboard from Home Depot; it is from China and in mm sizes! Took the trim back and had to argue with return desk folks but got my trim exchanged, but, this time took it home and cut myself. I kept the peg board and will rim out the holes with 1/4" bit. Never again to Home Depot for me; will use Lowe's or McCoy's.
