    If you input dimensional lumber into the formula and it passes I would imagine it'd be even stronger with steel.

    OK, a sheetrock prep question for the floor prep crowd

    Seaming a dense soft carpet with strong highlight

    A 2% manufacturing tolerance is common. That's 2.88 inches in 12 ft. or a minimum width of 11' 9 1/8". If you suspect it to be close it's a good idea to check the finished width with the mill before ordering.
