Cutting MDF for cabinet.

SirPoonga:

if you have the equipment that can cut two at once sure.  You'd need a table saw with a sharp blade that cut 1.5" of wood (a 2x4 so that shouldn't be a problem).  It will be heavy so you will want those rollers you see at hardware stores so you can run a full sheet through a table saw.

However, if you are going to make curves I'd do them individually.  Most jig saws and routers can't handle that thinkness very well.

he's not going to be cutting curves with that new circular saw though

... time for ANOTHER NEW TOY ;D

I'm gearing up to start mine too! I've got calls in to 4 different places looking for 5/8" MDF. The only stuff in town is 3/4". I want to use 5/8" for my CP top since I now have a 1/8" sheet of Lexan sitting next to me. ;D

If I end up using 3/4" for the top, I'm debating whether I should get taller T-molding for the CP, or just leave the lexan sticking over the molding. Any opinions?

tommy:

I used 1/2 MDF on a smaller cab i built and it worked out fine, maybe some can go with that.

Is it even possible?
