Joshua, Fun FYI ... I have seen that on a few jobs , but the worst out here on the West Coast is the 3/8"x 2" & 3/8" x 1-1/2" T&G....yes, one sanding and the top of the groove will fracture off. I was told by old timers that that thin 3/8" wood was milled in the turn of the century because the freight was more than the wood cost!! The San Francisco & San Jose area hardwood floors are almost all 5/16" x 2" non T&G top nailed from Lebanon Mills in Kentucky.
All were installed with the Cavanaugh top nailer. Here in Fresno there are a few of those floors and also 5/16" x 3-5-7" wide planks all stitch top nailed...Non T&G ! Cheers , TD
