Got parts from a production-sharing shop. In a 17-sheet job, with a couple hundred parts, two got cut wrong.
Looking at the cabinets and parts in the software, they look correct, but in actuality I have:
One basecab deck that is 1/2\" too wide. It has tenoned ends for blind dado joinery, and both tenons are there. The mortises are correctly cut in both \"gable\" ends. I whacked it off and did the joint as a butt.
One middle back in a lazy susan, which has a tenoned end for which the half-depth crosscut was not made to define the tenon. We chopped in with the saw to fix it.
Why the hiccups?

not sure if it might be a similar event or not, but I ran a bunch of dovetail drawers a couple of weeks ago and the bottom for one drawer came out short by about 1/2\", and the sides for a second drawer were short by about the same. They were different width drawers, so I didn't just mix up the bottoms. Everything on the program looked fine. I couldn't figure it out, and was hoping it was just a once-in-a-lifetime kinda thing.
We ran a large job today and one of the drawer heads (laminated cabs with slab drawers) came out with a blind dado tenon on each end. I chalked it up to my inferior programming skills but in looking back, I could not find an error anywhere.
After reading these two, I wonder if I have a gremlin? ? I am hoping it really was me.
