I want to make my own waste board. I have the pdf from iventables, it states 940mm x 998 mm. I watched a video on YouTube of someone making one they used measurements of 37 1/4 x 39 5/16, these measurements are a little shorter than the pdf calls for. Is that to make it easier to install or should I go with the pdf measurement? ---

I built mine exactly as the pdf shows and it worked great. Just watch there is a measurement that is to the side of a hole not the centreline which could throw you off if you weren’t paying attention. P.S. I should mention I didn’t follow 100% I didn’t put the slotted hole around the edge, rather I just put regular holes and it seemed to work just fine. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/2X/1/1e1e581971b6674e8282e7929b39f3e638000243.jpeg) ---

I too made my spoil board according to the PDF i.e. 940x998 measurement and it fits just fine. I did route out the slotted holes around the edge but for the next spoil board, I’ll just drill holes as @Rusty has. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/2X/2/26a2a3fa94158f26d67eec867d13bd115af2210b.jpg) ---
