Re: [motm] gaps in MOTM cabinets

Now comes the tricky part; figuring the *slop factor* (MOTM-spec is 
0.015 in. or, 1/64 in.). If we assume 24 *slop gaps*, then 24 times 1/
64 in. = 24/64 in. = 3/8 inch! Yikes! Can this be right?
-----------

As I see it,

The slop is subtracted from and not added to the full 1U / 2U panel width.

1U = 1.75 = .015 = 1.735   2U = 3.50 - 0.15 = 3.485

So, if you figure your cabinets on full 24 U spaces (42 inches inside) you
have already included the slop.
