What is best tool to cut MDF??
<< < (2/7) > >>
TalkingOctopus:
I will put another vote on circular saw w/ guide for straight cuts.  My circular saw was much more powerful than my jigsaw so it cut through MDF more quickly and easily than my jigsaw did.  However, I used my jig saw for circular curved edges.

A router can do all of those including the T-molding and the laminate. ;)

DougHillman.....how do you use a router for straight cuts and what type of router bit would you use?  

Thanks

I assume you get a straight cut just like the circular saw, with a guide. If the bit is perfectly centered in the router, then it would always be the same radius from the straight edge. Seems like that would take a wee bit longer though.
