| Can't find 5/8 MDF, I think this will work! |

I couldn't find 5/8" MDF either (a carpenter freind implied to me that they may not even make it anymore). My local Home Depot (MA) doesn't carry anything in 5/8. But I did find 5/8 particle board at Lowes. You might save yourself some router time by looking at Lowes or another lumber yard. -pmc |

I had to have a lumber yard special order me my 5/8 MDF. It only took a few days to get in though. However a 4x8 sheet was $40. If you really want 5/8 you might try calling some lumber yards near you. |

thanks for the advice, but my main concern is that I have basically given up on the 5/8" stuff.. I am mainly asking if you guys think that setup would work. thanks so much mike |

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm running into the same availability problem. Can MDF be planed? Can I get 3/4" sheet of it, cut it into two 2-foot wide pieces, run each through a planer that accepts pieces of such a width, take them down to 5/8", and then end glue them back together to recover a 4-foot wide piece? I'm probably finishing the thing with countertop laminate, so the glue seam wouldn't be a big deal aesthetically. |
