Can't find 5/8 MDF, I think this will work!

<< < (2/4) > >>

I couldn't find 5/8" MDF either (a carpenter freind implied to me that they may not even make it anymore). My local Home Depot (MA) doesn't carry anything in 5/8. But I did find 5/8 particle board at Lowes. You might save yourself some router time by looking at Lowes or another lumber yard.

I had to have a lumber yard special order me my 5/8 MDF.  It only took a few days to get in though.  However a 4x8 sheet was $40.  If you really want 5/8 you might try calling some lumber yards near you.

Ldsfunaz:
thanks for the advice, but my main concern is that I have basically given up on the 5/8" stuff..

I am mainly asking if you guys think that setup would work.


thanks so much

I'm running into the same availability problem.  Can MDF be planed?  Can I get 3/4" sheet of it, cut it into two 2-foot wide pieces, run each through a planer that accepts pieces of such a width, take them down to 5/8", and then end glue them back together to recover a 4-foot wide piece?

I'm probably finishing the thing with countertop laminate, so the glue seam wouldn't be a big deal aesthetically.
