How hard is it to cut MDF with a normal handsaw?
Blanka:
OMG, new pieces for the price of renting a decent 1 for one day. That must be bad stuff.

I think a circular saw was the cheapest thing I spent money on building my arcade. It was like $40 on sale. Decent, does the job - much quicker and cleaner than a handsaw.

I'm a big fan of the good old hand saw! With a bit of practice its easy to get a perfect straight line.
Circular saws are fantastic until you reach the end of the board and laser sight or line is gone off the edge! Nothing to line it up against! People will then say, use a straight edge to run it along, but if your wasting that much time you'd have cut it twice over perfect with a handsaw! Any old cheap one is fine too as long as its straight!
Nobody on here mentions the hand plainer or chisels which make some jobs alot easier and quicker than power tools!
Now a table saw is a whole different story.... I'd love one of those!
