Beginner Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 I just bought some templetes and I want to be able to cut them out of 1/8" material so I can cover them with leather and suede. Do they make 1/8" MDF? Or is there some other type of material I should use like masonite or something? Quote
n8ball2013 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 hardboard or masonite would be the best 1/8 is pretty thin though.

Beginner Posted November 19, 2011 Author Report Posted November 19, 2011 Maybe it's 1/4" that I'm thinking of instead? Do they make 1/4" MDF? Can I buy a sheet of it at the lumber yard? Does anyone know what kind of material or thickness they are using for the main part of the door/backing plate? It's looks very thin and sturdy. Quote
DRCinc Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 take a tape measure and measure it. that'll tell ya Quote
503Innovation Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) It is 1/4 " Mdf that they were using for the back panel and there inserts! Edited November 19, 2011 by 503Innovation Quote http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a98_1321735791
Namosh Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 You can buy 1/4" hardboard at any home improvement store or lumber yard. They usually have it in half sheets (4'x4') also. Quote My Ram Quad Cab Blow-through
503Innovation Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) You can buy MDF in full sheets from most lumbar yards Edited November 20, 2011 by 503Innovation Quote http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a98_1321735791
Beginner Posted November 19, 2011 Author Report Posted November 19, 2011 What exactly is hardboard plywood? I have some stuff already but I don't think it would router and cut like mdf would? Quote
Namosh Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 Hardboard is kind of like unfinished paneling. It is smooth on one side and rough on the other. Very stiff and strong. It cuts and sands pretty rough. But if you are going to cover it with something it wont matter. It also comes in 1/8 inch. I use if for all kinds of things.
