how perfect are your boxes?

For those of you who build your own sub boxes, I'm just wondering how accurate you are with making your boxes. Cuts perfectly straight? everything lining up perfectly? I just ask because I've spent some time putting my boxes together, and tried to be accurate as possible, but even as close as I am, there are still some very minor imperfections, and I'm wondering how they could affect things. So, when you guys build your boxes, how perfect do you insist they be, and how do you go about ensuring such perfection? best ways to cut, attach etc.

Build a large table for your table saw, cover it with formica, and purchase One of these

When I make a box I usually get within a 1/32", sometimes 1/8" on a bad cut. It doesn't have to be perfect unless you are doing complex angles or something where accuracy is key. With a little bit of sanding and some sealant it all works out. I don't have a really nice table saw either. Just a pretty cheap one and I use a circular saw a lot of times anyways. I would just make your cuts like 1/8" big and then sand them down til the joints fit well.

AWWW you #@$%@.   You would have to show me that!! lol.  Now my credit card's getting abused again... btw, don't tell my wife.

sucks that I won't be using it very much anymore.

If you do not want to spend money on one, DO NOT USE one, You will have to have one.

P-E-R-F-E-C-T. I accept nothing less. Accuracy is never sacrificed to time for me. If it is going to be complex enough that I can't handle it on my tablesaw, I pay a buddy of mine to cut all my parts. He and his sister own a sign shop, and his shop has a router table that will hold a full 4X8 sheet of MDF. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I just use a piece of 1x3 with quickclamps as a guide...all you need is a pencil, square, rule, circular saw and sawhorses and you're good to go. I'm consistently within 1/32" and almost never off by more than 1/16" (unless I straight-up measured wrong).2003 Chevy Cavalier coupe

I dont have this luxury :), my dads table saw is messed up, so I was stuck using this other one he had, that Im fairly certain was made somewhere in 1930. The straight cuts are straight surprisingly, and even the angled cuts on my baffle boards are straight, except I messed one of them up pretty bad and have a 1/8" gap about 5" long on the left side of one baffle boards where I tried to sand the angled part. Im considering either recutting it, or using the PL premium I have to fill the gap..... it will fill a 9.5mm gap and this stuff is ridiculously strong. But how do you sand on an angled edge perfectly straight without a planer ?

 If it is not perfect it is not right...........set your standards high..........A table saw with a great fence is essential, also a great table like megaman stated build a table around your table saw covered with formica so one man can cut and handle a full sheet. 

Or you could just do what Remy does on Unique whimps.....take the sander to it, grind it down to "kinda square" and fill the gaps with glue!!!!
