Side Panel Template

I would like my template to be durable yet easy to work with.
Should I use regular ply or MDF?
When creating the template, which tool do you recommend? (Circular Saw, Jog Saw, Router, etc.)
Thanks for the guidance.

Im curious about this also as I have 2 templates that I would like to use as well, from what I have been reading people recommend MDF or ply.

MDF would be the better choice for a template. Especially if you seal the MDF against moisture. As for making the template, rough cut the outline first (circular saw or jigsaw as needed) then tighten up the edge with a router.

Mdf is the easiest to route, so from a control panel it's the one of choice but for a template of sides, sanded ply would work well too. Remember to seal any wood you choose.
