Forum Responses
On occasion we have made small amounts of MDF trim with a like machine, but the cutters take a bad beating and need sharpening before they are used for solid again. MDF requires the use of carbide knives for most runs. I have run some short runs in MDF with specially coated steel. This requires that you have the ability to grind the tools in house. If you do not have that ability then the use of carbide is the best option. If your machine requires special mounting design, then contact a tooling company and see if they will prepare carbide tools for your machine. Some machines require knives with specific hole locations drilled into the steel. If your machine requires this then the tool will be a custom carbide tool.
