16 inches is 16 inches right? I know its not likely all the time but for this project it was on the money and saved me the pain of wrestling a 4x8 sheet on my small table saw :)

16” might be anywhere from 15” to 17” for some of the people working there.

Yeah maybe but I give this guy credit they were 16 :)

Apparently when I asked for 2 feet at the panel saw it's anywhere between 20 inches and 28...

One time I was silly enough to mention the words “blade kerf” the blank expression I got made me feel real silly. I go to the lumber yard when I can, probably a good $10-15 more expensive a panel but the quality is way better, they can actually cut it and they help me load it in the car too. But they’re closed by noon on saturdays.

Yeah... Mine was cheap MDF for some wall mounted garage shelves, so it didn't really matter. But I second the lumber yard for a lot of stuff.

Get yourself the Festool track saw and the 108" track, you'll never look back.

Can't afford that stuff. Saw kreg had a new saw guide for ripping plywood. Gets good reviews and is cheap

Oh sorry, you're right - it is very expensive. I made an assumption based on some of the background in your photos that you could. The Kreg looks like a good in-between. I know whenever I tried to use the circular saw and just a straight edge my cut would always wander. The Kreg looks like it will at least keep the saw close to the track.

Yeah worth a try. I need a table saw table but nowhere to store it :(
