Title: MDF sawblade?
Post by: crashwg on March 11, 2004, 12:20:49 pm

Is there a specific type of circular saw blade I should use to cut MDF?  I wan't the edges to be as smooth as posible after the cut, so I was thinking maybe a plywood blade, but I don't realy know what I should get.

I bought a blade that was special for MDF and it sucked.  It was slow and dulled after a few cuts.

I ended up using a rough cut carbide tipped blade (I think around 22 teeth).  After a little practice, I was making straight cuts quickly and with a very smooth edge.

Get yourself a 60 tooth carbide blade used for smooth and finish cuts. Works great and does not hang or burn the wood like steel blades do. MAKE sure the blade is carbide.
