| Apr 19, 2021 at 17:28 | comment | added | FreeMan | It was a fair pain, but I managed to get my grooves routed out over the weekend. Not having a good work surface meant that clamping was improvised, but I managed to get 'er done. Ashler got the check mark 'cause he was first, and, well, you don't need the points. :) | |

Yeah. Mine's laid (more or less) flat for x years (for x > 10). I'm not sure what kind of condition it's actually in - it may all be fat and swollen and fuzzy, or, except for the visible edge that has a bit of warping, the rest may be as flat and pristine as the day it was made.

| Apr 13, 2021 at 7:02 | comment | added | Graphus | Probably wise! I've had more than one piece of (untempered) hardboard look to be in good condition but be furry on the backside or swollen lower down, hidden by whatever was in front of it. | |
| Apr 12, 2021 at 14:15 | comment | added | FreeMan | I've measured the edge of a piece of hardboard I've had sitting in my garage for a while. My calipers gave me 0.155", and 5/32" is the closest fractional size, but slightly over, which should be good for a removable divider. I suppose I should pull the whole thing out to ensure it's actually usable before making any cuts,eh? ;) | |
| Apr 12, 2021 at 14:05 | comment | added | Graphus | BTW because I don't use Imperial fractional measures every day I totally spaced on the tiny size of groove you needed here <doh> Fingers crossed you do have a 1/8" bit. | |
| Apr 12, 2021 at 13:56 | comment | added | Graphus | Yes, gang them together. I literally came back to suggest this :-) | |
| Apr 12, 2021 at 13:54 | comment | added | FreeMan | Seems like the best bet will be to line up all my pieces, clamping them to my work surface and gang-cut the dados with the router. Will have to rummage through my bits to see if I've got one small enough. | |
