New Pet Hate Aaarrgghh!!

Post by John »

This is driving me crazy!

Moulding width thickened or thined at the end of a length causing the sides of the frame to be cut too long or too short. It seems to be a recent phenomenon, we never used to see it, but now it happens every other day. the two examples are from today's batch of framing.

Did they have those nice "1 foot allowed "stickers John?

Did you complain?

I hate those stickers, you ask for 12m, they send you 12 and there are four "1 foot allowed" stickers - OK they take that cost off but if you need most of that 12 metres you can't do the job.

Sometimes they'll work that out and send an extra length too, but sometimes the damage is placed so strategically that you need more than that. I think that if any length warrants these stickers it should not be sent and sold as damaged stock for a song.

Hi John,

I have not come across this yet, fingers crossed. We used to machine timber in a past life. This problem can be solved at the production end, by fixing their feeder head. With modern machinery this should NEVER be a problem, Just sloppieness on the production end !

Send it back :evil:
