Custom side dimensions

Custom side dimensions are available. Submit the quote first, then email the drawing with the same Company and Job Label ID or PO so Timbercraft can review the requested profile. The source sheet states that X and Y may have different values, but they must use the same inch increment. The source sheet does not publish the increment size.
