I?m trying to cut some plastic coated MDF (Melamine?) using a powered

buy any further power tools as I?d not have any real use for them.

Do remember a jigsaw cuts on the upstroke, so for best results cut from
the underside. But it's simply not the best tool for the job. A decent
circular saw will give a near perfect cut.


If cut upside down...

He said he doesn't want to buy any more gear...

He could go mad and cut it with a hand-saw.

gropes but not in this thread on Plusnet (giganews I
believe)?

Still seems to be there for me - on Eternal September.
