				<title>How do you cut MDF?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I use a scrollsaw for shaping smaller pieces of <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(758);'>mdf</span>.<br /> <br /> A jigsaw to make the larger pieces INTO smaller pieces.<br /> <br /> Other people use lasers (with or without the freakin' sharks and the head mountings) because it's more high-techy or something (they just like the smell of burned formaldehyde, methinks).]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'm assuming that as you don't know how to cut <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(758);'>MDF</span> you probably don't have many saws lying around ?<br /> <br /> A big toothed saw will wreck the finish on the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(758);'>MDF</span>, you want something with smaller teeth and a thin blade, depending on how much you need to cut a small hobby saw like xacto or similar make, or a cheap metal cutting hacksaw blade should do the trick.<br /> <br /> Generally, when I get <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(758);'>mdf</span> I get it cut to size at the lumber shop I buy it from, the saw there makes an excellent job.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ How small is that piece? You may be able to twist the circles out by pushing down on one side that has been cut. If the laser hasnt cut all the way throught you can try finishing the cuts with a craft knife.]]></description>

				<title>How do you cut MDF?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Yeah, it looks way too thick for any sort of knife or to punch or twist out. A jig saw can be bought fairly cheap at a discount freight tool store. Use a scrolling blade (really thin) so that you can turn tighter corners.<br /> <br /> Or, if you have limited funds and an aversion to power tools, you can also find a small hacksaw blade that you can insert into the slot and finish the cut. You can find a handle that will fit a hacksaw blade just on the one end, so it will go right into the slot.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://toolmonger.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/post-multisaw.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://toolmonger.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/post-multisaw.jpg</a>]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Alternatively, jeweller's saw. You'll be able to insert it into the pre cut slots, very thin blade, capable of cutting very tight corners.<br /> Also works wonders on metal and plastic, and very cheap. You can get a handle for ~$10 AUD, and buy blades by the hundred for a couple of bucks. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Looks like 1/4" thick<br /> <br /> im not sure what part you are trying to keep or cut but a coping saw would do it<br /> <br /> thread the blade through the hole on the side if you want the circles<br /> <br /> or drill a hole ino the circle and thread the blade in<br /> <br /> then set it up and get sawing. <br /> <br /> <img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51HlJ3dH7OL._SL1500_.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <br /> they are fairly cheap. and hella useful. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Agreed, coping saws are very useful. Whatever saw blade you choose you ought to practise on some scrap first so you don't get wandering blade syndrome.]]></description>
