I wouldn't trust the people at my local Home Depot to cut wood for me...

MameMaster!:
drew's right....this stuff is something fierce. A dust mask just isn't really sufficient.
My throat hurt for a full day after.....and I wore a dust mask.

I guess it depends which Home Depot and who you ask. I live in California and the Home Depot near my house refused to cut MDF, but I was at another Home Depot near the beach and they cut MDF without objections. The sick thing is that the HomeDepot that cut the MDF has a McDonalds inside the store. Also they don't do a very good job maintaining their dust extraction system on their saws. I can't imagine who would want to eat inside a Home Depot.
btw: Home Depot sell a mask like the ones above and it has removal dust cover to place over the cartridges. I have one and it's very comfortable and works great.
