ChevyBoy Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 a black and decker plunge router. cheap and gets the job done with no problem. also, a double fluted carbide bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompressionFed Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Use a dual flutted bit, and go slow. I usually make 3 passes, each pass lowering the bit a little until I'm all the way through. MDF is some really dense stuff, so if you try to go too fast you'll burn the wood.

CompressionFed Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Maybe I have a wimpy router Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meade916 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 probably......even my $59 Ryobi could do it in one pass. Now i eventually burnt it up because the cheap ass Ryobi stuff probably isnt meant for daily torture just a few things once in a while. I just got a new Porter Cable for $160 and it SCREAMS thru the circles twice as fast as the Ryobi did. :rip_1: Ryobi, you did some good work while you were my router....just couldnt hang with my work schedule :rip_1: All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

AI James Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 i got a harbor frieght, (dunno if they are everywhere but we have one in fresno) router, a chicago brand, has worked great for me, and the best part is if it breaks it was 19 bucks. As for the bit i use the same one as Meade stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
