Nice A8 set of 3

Particle board is pressed sawdust.

MDF is wood fibers, much better. You probably knew that, but if 6 months from now somebody runs across this, just wanted the record set straight. They are only interchangeable for low end uses. MDF is far superior.

And the saw dust from MDF will choke you quick though.I hate working with it anymore.It will get on anything and everything.I try to use nothing but plywood anymore.I've had my fill of MDF.It is no good in high Humidity or wet/damp or outside locations, if it ever gets wet once it is toast.That's were the durability issues arise IMO.

I have a craftsman, not even an expensive saw. With a shop vac hooked to it, I never breathe dust, but still wear a mask.

If you have cheap tools, most lumber yards will cut for something low...last I checked 50 cents a cut a couple years ago.

I don't have cheap tools ! I use a vac too,the dust is so fine it goes everywhere regardless. Makita,Bosch,Dewalt,are the tool brands that I have.It's just nasty stuff to work with IMHO.I would rather use plywood.Problem solved.

I'm in the middle of building some 12 cuft enclosures, I used oak veneered plywood, will be posting some pics up soon. My craftsman router came in quite handy for doing them, along with my tool shop drill.
