Very carefully measure and cut your board to the exact dimension you need. Use a marking knife, if you want a really thin line . . . then set it on the back deck - in the sun - for the afternoon and leave it there. Measure it after 4 or 5 hours and get back to me. That being said. I use a mechanical pencil in the Shop with a .5mm lead. I cut to one half of the line, when I measure and then make the cut. No, I don't know how much .25mm is. Those are the kinds of numbers I measure with micrometers when using my metal lathe. |
