Cutting MDF With A Circular Saw

[Keith Starosta]

I've got about five sheets of MDF to cut up this weekend, and due to all of the...."stuff"....in my garage, I can't use my table saw. So, it's the trusty Craftsman circular saw to the rescue. My question is, what is the best type of blade that I can buy to use on the MDF?

Thanks!!

I would think any almost any blade would work for you.

any sharp carbide combination blade. Cuts like butter. PS. I'd cut it out doors. The dust is miserable.

Keith,

Definitely carbide tipped. Yes any blade will work however a blade with more teeth the better. Try a cross cut or multi purpose blade with 60 teeth. You'll get a much smooth edge. Don't forget to wear a good dust mask and goggles because you'll be making plenty of dust

Cheers,

Kent

Thanks, guys! Yes, I will be cutting it outside......if the forecast continues along the same line.

I guess I'm going to buy a bunch of the combo blades, just in case they start to dull out.
