[Shop-talk] RotoZip router / saws

[Pat Horne]

Actually that spec is from the SURFACE of the WALL, which is at least 
1/2" out from the face of the studs., which actually gives you 1.5" to 
work with. It isn't strictly enforced around here, as long as the wires 
are near the center of the stud. The purpose of this spec is to keep 
wires from getting drywall nails or screws into them, but it still 
happens. Any time wire goes through a stud closer than 1" from the face 
it is supposed to get a nail stop plate nailed to the stud to protect 
the wires also. This applies to plumbing lines too.

Peace,
Pat

> An ordinary 2x4 is only 3.5", so 1.5" from both sides leaves only a 0.5"
