Thickness Question on a build project......

[Terry Kelly]

So,I’m just getting back into playing around with the shop tools after a hand-Full of years away..
.I’m going to finally build the router table I want to build before....I’ve had the lift and the hardware and router here since before my break away.....I was looking over the plans which are the Norm Abrahms upgraded version...making a cut list and noticed a note saying all measurements based off the plywood being exactly3/4” thick if not then make adjustments...I plan on using Baltic Birch plywood which is 18mm or 11/16” thick.....I’m thinking the adjustments they are noting are when I make the dado cuts....Do You Agree or am I missing something else?

Thank You for any and all responses......


Its good to be back.....

All plans are "relative" and it's normal to make adjustments as you work through the project. For something like this, I'd "build the box" and measure exactly from that box for each subsequent component, such as the drawers, etc. This is a normal part of woodworking.
