48" pipe does not fit on a 48" wide table

Got a sheet of 4x8 mdf only to find out that the 48" tubes I bought doesn’t secure properly. Am I installing this incorrect or did I need longer tubes?

Did you use the calculator to determine the size requirements of a full sheet lowrider? Links to the calc are available in metric and imperial.

Do you mean that you were expecting a 48" cutting area? Or that you expected the 48" tubing and 48" table to work well together (for like a 36" area)?

Last time I bought a “4x8” sheet of mdf it was actually 49" wide

Yea, mdf comes bigger than 4X8.

I’m just trying to maximize the 4x8 sheet so I don’t have to rip it down

I should have purchased 50.89 for the x
