MDF sawblade?
« on: March 11, 2004, 12:20:49 pm »
Is there a specific type of circular saw blade I should use to cut MDF?  I wan't the edges to be as smooth as posible after the cut, so I was thinking maybe a plywood blade, but I don't realy know what I should get.

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I bought a blade that was special for MDF and it sucked.  It was slow and dulled after a few cuts.

I ended up using a rough cut carbide tipped blade (I think around 22 teeth).  After a little practice, I was making straight cuts quickly and with a very smooth edge.

Get yourself a 60 tooth carbide blade used for smooth and finish cuts. Works great and does not hang or burn the wood like steel blades do. MAKE sure the blade is carbide.
