They were intended for a child size table top, with four plates arranged in a
square. I have plates for both DUPLO and LEGO sized studs, separate and with
plates glued to either side of a plywood "table top".

They did a very good job of cutting - straight, smooth, and exactly on a
"half-stud" distance. The center picture at the link I gave shows how smoothly
they join. The 1x and 2x bricks are snapped on to the plates across a plate
boundary - no daylight showing at all, no stress or warping.

Also, to answer some questions I have received via email, they measure 13 and
13/16ths inches square, and weigh ~6.5 ounces each.

Hi All:

I have come across a source of the large gray LEGO baseplates. They were
originally the 48x48 stud plates. These plates have been professionally • trimmed
along two adjoining sides, so they are now 44x44 studs.

Happy to answer any questions.

Interesting. Why were these trimmed? They certainly look like they were
trimmed VERY neatly.
