Turboelky Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 my home depot won't cut MDF. When you cut MDF that shit stinks. They did however, cut up to 10 cuts for me for free. I actually had the dude cut all pieces for one box I made. He did a good job. The measuring YOU should do though. Fortunately enough, he kind of knew what he was doing and only 1 piece was like 1/8" off. OH YEAH. And I ended up using Maple wood over the MDF. Cost a few bux more, but was half the weight. Box sounds amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorFade Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I think technically it's first (2) cuts are free, and 50 cents per thereafter, but they never charge me. The best thing to do is get them to make the longest rips for you and do the precision cutting at the house. That way even if it's off by a bit, it's all off by the same amount. Like... if I know I want my box height to be 12", I get them to make (2) 12" rips and I cut those rips to the lengths I need them. I always get them to cut them in half too. I can get like (3) whole sheets of wood in the CRX. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I work for home depot and have used the panel saw many of times. I actually had my store cut the pieces for me today (since I was off the clock and couldn't do it myself). Cuts came out prefect. Granted they know me and took there time with the cuts. formerly known as Blue86f150 its a 4th order just because its tuned in the 40z doesnt mean it wont reach down and jiggle your balls at sub 30 hz frequencies. Regardless if they were dipped platinum and were stuffed in Beyonce's twat.....way too fucking exspensive this sux camel dicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souldrop Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I've only gone to Lowes twice to have cuts made, but I would dare say that home depot would be similar. One time every cut was almost perfect. I was able to put the box together without cutting anything other than the sub holes. The other time the cuts were off by a lot and were angled. I wasn't paying that close of attention since I had run into an friend of mine. When I got home the wood cuts were impossible to use without some major corrective cutting. I would definitely keep a close eye on whoever does the cuts for you and double check the cuts before you leave. 1997 Lexus ES300 HU - Pioneer MVH 7350 Processor - Helix DSP Front Stage - JBL P660C Mid/high amp - Alpine PDX-F4 Subs - 1 IA Death Penalty 12 Sub Amp - Cactus Sounds PF300.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Here is the thing about Home depot (sure lowes is the same), We (since I work for home depot) Don't do Precision cuts. We can get them close, but 90% of the time they are going to be off (unless the person doing the cuts cares about the cuts). So keep that in mind if you go to HD or even Lowes. formerly known as Blue86f150 its a 4th order just because its tuned in the 40z doesnt mean it wont reach down and jiggle your balls at sub 30 hz frequencies.

kingsuv Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I typically have mine cross cut a little over my needed measurements for ease of handling. If you plan out your box correctly, AND know which side of the blade you need them to cut on, you can get accurate cuts made. Otherwise they will measure out to a point and either cut on the right side, wrong side or in the middle. In all reality, if a couple of your measurements are 1/8 or so off, it won't matter in the box design. you just need to shrink the rest of the cuts to reflect the change. A little dry fit before you glue up everything goes a long way in running into trouble at the end Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

Tebo Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I usually have Home Depot do my larger cuts and all similar cuts. Say my front, sides and back are all 16 inches I have them cut that then I bring it home and trim the down to get the correct dimensions. It's also not a bad idea to have them cut a half inch or inch over because sometimes they mess up depending on who you get to do your cuts 04 dodge dakota ext cab 4x4 excessive amperage 300 amp alt with MONSTER stud =)sundown z v3 15 in a 4th order on aq2200sundown 100.4 2 way active...2 Prv audio 6mb200 & 2 re XXX tweetersdeka intimidatorkenwood x396big 3 1/0 knu wire back to deka intimidator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowLowCanYouGo Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I went to my Home depot in town here and they said that they couldn't cut MDF for me because all the sawdust from cutting is explosive... The MANAGER of the store told me that. I was just like wtf are you smoking and I left. Nothing for now... Did you get that scar tissue when you got your vagina installed? I'd grab Adam's ass and look him in the eyes for a demo of nates truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
