Really, only to 1/4" ? FWIW, that's not been my experience with Home Depot. I just give them the measurements and they cut it on that wicked cool sideways table saw (enormous) in the back. I've even brought in wood I didn't buy at the store, although I think I had to pay $1 per cut or something like that.
Something you might want to look into closer if you can't find someone with a table saw. Too bad Kari moved away, he was up in your neck of the woods, and was the total DIY/acrylic/woodworking/reeftank guru. But he went and moved to the great lakes on us!!

Ya I've got stuff cut there, its more or less a disclaimer. They don't want to be responsible for off measures. Only time I've gotten good cuts at home depot was when I finally convinced him to let me use the cabinet saw myself. Totem will do accurate cuts if its not busy. Other problem is there blades rarely get sharpened and are usually cheapo ripping blades. Was hopin for someone with a half decent table and atleast a combo blade lol, nooo I'm not picky. Should tell this Kari to smarten up n move back, lakes? Pfffft, we got wheat!

If you are down in the SW Shawnessey, you are more than welcome to borrow my table saw. It isn't a great one but with a little setup, it cuts pretty good. Bought it at a garage sale for real cheap..

I'm down in Okotoks, might be to far for ya, but I have wood working stuff, just I might not be much help, have a broken arm. As for HD I've had very good cuts done there, just try to do it when they are'nt busy.

Unfortunately me and my saw are too far away, but I know what you mean about HD. I am glad some people have had a good experience, but in Regina I have heard of a number of complaints. I used to work a smaller version of that huge panel saw, and if the operator doesn't know what he is doing, the cuts will be off.
I am not sure what they are like in Calgary, but have you tried Windsor Plywood? They do a good job here.
