Does anyone from Ottawa Canada, know where I could get 1/4 inch (not
5.2 mm or appx 13/64 in) oak veneer plywood (or particle core veneer)?
Home Depot type shop and top wood supplier here (Wood Source) only
sell closest 5.2mm ply.
I wouldn,t be too keen to order it from a distant source (delivery
cost would likely be prohibitive).

I don't know your town, so I can't answer your question directly.
but.....
veneered mdf panels measure out closer to their nominal sizes than
veneer core panels at the places I buy them. look in the phone book
for hardwood distributors, perhaps cabinet shop suppliers. home despot
is the wrong place to be looking.

If you mean for dadoing, I dado with a saw. <G>
The dado gets shimmed to whatever plywood I'm using.

Oops, missed that part. My only other suggestion would be Pilon Ltee. in
Hull. They will order special but no guarantee what they call 1/4 won't be
5.2mm.
I think true 1/4" will be hard to find.

Most 3/4" plywood these days (Canadian plywood) is actually in Metric in
size. I've seen 17, 18, 19, 19.5 mm. 19mm or 19.5mm are the most common I
believe. It's a pain mostly in the sense that additional router bits have to
be purchased to accommodate it.

Here's a couple of sources in Ottawa. Try calling them up if you haven't
dealt with them before.

Hahaha... Ok, if you want it and you know it does exist, then
no reason why you should settle for less than that :-)
Sorry I can't be of more help... I'm in Montreal, and the couple
of Plywood panels I've bought from Robert Bury (which, BTW, I think
they have offices in several other cities in Canada) of nominal
thicknes 3/4 are not really 3/4 -- more like 47/64 or 23/32.
Never asked them if they have panels of true 1/4 or 1/2 or 3/4,
because the thickness wasn't really critical for me, but you might
want to try them (assuming that they have offices in Ottawa, which
I think may be the case). They do have a variety of good-quality
Plywood.

Can you be flexible on the "oak" part of your request? The Baltic birch I
bought from The WoodSource measures as close to 1/4" as I can see.
(I didn't think so.)

I always assumed that standard plywood was interchangeable with it's
"listed" thickness.
For example, 3/4" simply meant the 23/32 stuff everyone sells.

As I said in my message, I tried Wood Source, they only have the
5.2mm.

Well... some years back I was building something (I don't recall what
now) But it used 3/4 cabinet grade plywood. I had an old scrap I set the
dado blade to cut the groves. Then went to my local supply place and
bought a new sheet.
The new sheet was the new 23/32, and I had cut all the dado's for rea
3/4.
During the years between when I bought the piece the scrap came from,
and when I bought the new stuff, they had changed the standard <sigh>
It's like trying to find real 2x4s, when you are remodeling a house
old enough to have been built with 2x4s, rather then 1-1/2 by 3-1/2

Why does it have to be exactly 1/4? I'll dare to second-guess
that it is because you need to make it fit exactly in 1/4 grooves;
if that's the case, you could get (from Lee Valley, at least, but
I bet from any other supplier as well) Plywood router bits, which
have the exact measurements of plywood panels (i.e., you'll find
your 15/64 straight bit).
You probably knew all this, and I apologize if I'm insulting you
with information that is trivia for you. But I thought it might
be worth mentioning, just in case.
Cheers,
Carlos

Thanks Carlos, I am not insulted at all. I know about those bits. I am
doing a piece of furniture from a plan which calls for 1/4 ply, so I
would like to see if it is possible to get it. I have seen it in the
college where I took a course in cabinetmaking. I guess I should ask
the college where it got it.
.. I guess I am just stubborn. I WANT 1/4 in (jumping up and down).
