Blade for 1/2" MDF
« on: August 10, 2020, 07:11:05 am »
I apologize in advance if this question as been beat to death by other newbies, but I cannot find a definitive answer in my search.

What blade should I be using (with a WEN 3922) in cutting 1/2 MDF?

Thanks in advance everyone.

MDF is tough on bladed due to the glue.

Do you have pinned or unpinned?

I cut some the other day with Flying Dutchman Ultra Reverse #3 with out any problems.  Left quite a smooth finish but still have to seal edges.

The are unpinned.  If you have pinned blades a #3 or #5 scroll reverse might work.

Thank you Don.  I pick up my saw Wednesday and I believe it comes with pinned.  I am not sure at this point if it will take blades that are not pinned.
