Its probably from China - 7MM
did you buy it at the borg
The MDF I buy from my cabinet supplier is still .750" unless its metric in which caseit is an exact metric number. I bought 1/4" MDF for a sample door once from the orange borg in a pinch, the stuff sold as 1/4" per the label, but measured exactly 3/16"! Tough to put that in a 1/4" groove.
I think those crooks shave 1/16" in an attempt to increase profit personally. I'd guess they buy enough to have it made to their specs. I want my 1/16" back.
My lumber yard stuff is still .75". Haven't checked the Borg lately; just really don't use them for wood products anymore.
looks like they may till out of stock. I know my fellow woodworker was trying all over town to find 3/4" material. I bought two sheets last week and I checked them and they are 11/16" they are also painted white. so did they do that to make sure they are not mixed up?
It's part of the race to the bottom.

Bought two sheets over thae last couple of weeks. Borgs was 11/16" at $24 and at my lumber supplier 3/4" at $45. ouch?
ouch. I get it for around 27 to 32 depending on where I buy it and if I get a discount. where are you located?Quote:
