http://www.homedepot.com/prel80HDUS/EN_US/diy_main/pg_diy.jsp?CNTTYPE=PROD_META&pos=n24&MID=9876&com.broadvision.session.new=Yes&N=2984+3966&CNTKEY=misc%2fsearchResults.jsp

its skil 7 1/4 in $38 corded circular saw

the reason i got this is its cheap. well now i regret it, doesn't really work out me to cut MDF. Now im thinkin of returnin it and gettin a combination set from some where

Can you guys reccomend me a type of saw to mostly cut MDF. and also im thnkin of goin with cordless.

anyone know where i can get a combination set of jigsaw, circular saw, and drill ?

Dewalt is my personal choice.  The saw has no problems with MDF or 2/4's.  Amazon.com is a good place to get tools.  Free shipping and no tax are hard to pass up.

ahh i need that exactly that

where did you pick it up from? and how much



Luckydevil:

Your link isn't working. Before you go buying a new circular saw, try switching blades.
A 7+1/4" blade with 24 teeth will cut MDF pretty rough, while the same size blade
with 36 will cut it very nicely.
