What are the nominal dimensions for a 1x2 stick of lumber, a 2x4 stick of lumber and a standard sheet of plywood?

Answers 3

3/4 x 1 1/2 inches (19 x 38 mm) is the actual size for 1x2 stick of lumber,1 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches (38 x 89 mm) is the actually size for a 2x4 stick of lumber,Plywood is usually sold in 4 x 8-foot sheets. The most common nominal thicknesses of plywood are 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch, but once again the actual sizes are slightly different. A sheet of 1/2-inch plywood is really 15/32 inch thick, while a 3/4-inch sheet is 23/32 inch thick.Hopefully this answers your question, I apologize if it doesn’t :)

The actual dimensions for the given nominal dimensions 1x2 stick of lumber, a 2x4 stick of lumber are;

Actual dimension of 1 x 2 stick of lumber = ³/₄'' × 3¹/₂''

Actual dimension of 2 x 4 stick of lumber = 1¹/₂'' × 3¹/₂''

The nominal dimension for a sheet of plywood is; 4' x 8'

Lumber sticks are sticks made from timber in forms used mainly in building construction as formwork support for the sheets of plywood used.

There could also be other uses of lumber sticks like making of some basic home furniture's but they are primarily used in building construction.

Now, Lumber sticks could come in different nominal dimensions such as;

  • 1 x 4 lumber sticks.
  • 1 x 6 lumber sticks.
  • 1 x 8 lumber sticks.
  • 1 x 10 lumber sticks.
  • 1 x 12 lumber sticks.
  • 2 x 4 lumber sticks.
  • 2 x 6 lumber sticks.
  • 2 x 8 lumber sticks.
  • 2 x 10 lumber sticks.
  • 2 x 12 lumber sticks.

Now, in the question, we are dealing with 1x2 stick of lumber and a 2x4 stick of lumber. From general cutting standards in most workshops, the actual sizes are respectively;

Actual size of 1 x 2 stick of lumber = ³/₄'' × 3¹/₂''

Actual size of 2 x 4 stick of lumber = 1¹/₂'' × 3¹/₂''

Now, for a sheet of plywood, the standard size of a sheet of plywood is 4' × 8'.

Nominal Dimensions: 1x2 - 1" x 2" 2x4 - 2" x 4" Plywood - 4' x 8' The nominal dimensions of lumber refer to the size of the lumber before being dried and planed at the sawmill. The actual measurements may vary slightly from the nominal values due to drying, planing, and other factors. For example, a 1x2 stick of lumber is nominally 1" thick by 2" wide, but the actual size may be 3/4" thick by 1-1/2" wide. Similarly, a 2x4 stick of lumber is nominally 2" thick by 4" wide, but the actual size may be 1-1/2" thick by 3-1/2" wide. A standard sheet of plywood is nominally 4' wide by 8' long, but the actual size may be 3' wide by 7' long.
