Is the 4x4 you just bought actually 12 feet long?

A post labelled 4x4 by 12 is a description, not a dimension, and a cut list built on it comes up short at the far end of the job. Checking the face and running the full length with the T1 Tomahawk catches it in the aisle rather than on site. Switching the display to feet makes the length readable without doing division next to a lumber cart.

A post labelled 4x4 by 12 is a nominal description, not a measurement. Checking the face gives you the real width, and running the length turns up whether you are short or long before it goes on the truck. Switching the display to feet makes the length readable without doing division in the aisle.
