Item Thickness String:0.046 Inches  |  Item Width String:12 inches  |  Item Length String:24 Inches  |  Number of Items:1 Phenolics are also known by various trade names such as Micarta, Spauldite, and Texolite. They are high pressure laminates that are hard and dense. They are made by applying heat and pressure to a series of layered materials such as cellulose, cotton fabric, synthetic fibers, glass fibers or woven fabrics and then impregnated with synthetic resin. Once the layers are heated and pressure is applied, the layers are transformed into a high pressure thermosetting industrial laminate.

False advertising
Is there something about "12" Width, 12" Length" that isn't perfectly clear? It's in the actual TITLE of the product!Why would a purchaser expect anything else?Wish I saw the existing reviews prior to purchasing, as I too was bit by false advertising. See pics - not even close to 12".

11 13/16 x 11 13/16
11 13/16" x 11 13/16" x 1/4" -- I had seen another review saying the material is not quite 12 x 12 but I was hoping. I need to cut it to 6 x 9, so I will only get one piece out of it, not 2. Had it been a full 12" I could have lived with not-quite 6" due to the width of the saw blade, but this is way under. Oh well.

Size matters!
I don't normally write reviews but felt it was warranted this time. The sizes were important to me and both the length and width were short by 1/4" from what was advertised. I bought three pieces and all three were short. I read reviews before buying but not enough I guess because after I measured my pieces, out of disgust I re-read the reviews and then read that someone else had the same exact problem. Seems like a poor way for a company to scrimp and make a profit by shorting the customer in the basic dimensions they advertise. I will change the dimensions of my project to make them work rather than hassle with sending them back but beware, if 12" x 24" is the size that you actually need your sheets will be small. Just saying.

Works as a print bed for 3D printing nylon
I bought this as a much less costly alternative for Garolite. I use it on my Ender 3 Pro. I cut it to size with my jigsaw then tried to print on it as it arrived (the shiny surface). No luck-nothing stuck to it. Tried PVA and hairspray, still no luck. So I used a piece of wet/dry 800 grit sandpaper (it was the piece that happened to be on top of my stack of sandpaper) to wet-sand the shine off the sheet of phenolic. Tried another print and it works well! I clean it with de-natured alcohol between prints. Now after several prints on the same spot in the center prints are not sticking as well so I'll wet-sand it again, this time I'll try 600 grit to see if it works better/longer.I'm pleased with this item for my unusual use of it. 5 stars because it is as advertised, promptly delivered and adequately packed so it arrived undamaged.

Item is undersized! Seller took out 0.25 inch from both ends!
Item came is undersize. Shameful seller. Seller actually took out 0.25 inch out from both width and length. I bough the size which is 6 inch X 12 inch. After measuring it found that item is 5.75 inch X 11.75 inch. Take a look at pics for more details. Really disappointed! Not trustworthy at all!

Makes for great table saw inserts
I used this sheet to make replacement table saw inserts for my old Walker Turner table saw. Worked out great. I could only get 2-inserts out of this size sheet. Since I use a variety of different blades in my table saw, I will be ordering another sheet. Only complaint is that it sure has an odd odor when cutting and shaping. This odor dissipates after a couple of days. Happy to see this material is available in different thicknesses. If using this for other table saws, be sure to order the correct thickness.

Great material, poor flatness.
I planned on replacing the mdf panels for the fence of my Bosch router table with this material. I do like the weight, look and feel of this material... but the 3/8" 12x12 board I received was so badly warped that I was able to stick the end of a toothpick between a straight edge and the sheet. For my needs, that is way too far off. Also to mention, the sheet came severly scuffed and scratched in multiple places. I don't know if this is the manufacturer or the way it was shipped (arrived bare in a box, no packing and no protective film on the sheet).

Product is undersized - cut 1/4 inch less in both ...
Product is undersized - cut 1/4 inch less in both length and width than the stated dimensions. Seller should realize that the stated dimensions of fabrication materials are important.
