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.

Yep, know the feeling Tony. Will go there ONLY as a last resort.
Good luck with the project you are working on.

I don't care for our local H.D. and trade at Lowe's all the time anyway but, I must say that your experience with having them cut your trim has more to do with the person running the saw than the company. I always do my own cutting to start with so when it's wrong I blame the saw. ;D
