I just patched a floor that has 11/16 plywood. I used 3/4 (which is actually 23/32). The 11/16 is closer to an actual 21/32, so the patch is about 1/16 high. No big deal since it’s getting covered with carpet, but I was just wondering if 11/16 is/was common and if it’s even available anymore.

put it together ... then measure..Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->

Much of the plywood (BS5565 spec baltic birch) I have is 1-3/4 centimeters thick (off pallets used to ship aircraft rudders from Ireland)
1-3/4 cm is pretty close to 11/16.
> 1-3/4 cm is pretty close to 11/16.
1-3/4 cm = 0.6890"
11/16" = 0.6875"
One and a half thousandths is plenty close enough for most machine shop purposes, let alone woodworking.

That would explain it, but the stuff I saw was not baltic birch. In fact, it looked like ordinary BC plywood.
