Safety Guidelines Tips
Nominal Size vs. Actual Size
When you look at the labels on boards at the
home store or woodworking store, you may see
simple sizes like “2x4” or “2x6.” That’s the ‘nominal’
size of the board, which describes the board’s
dimensions before it was machined to fi nished size.
The fi nished size, known as the ‘actual’ size, will be
slightly less.
