| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Hi Jose You can use MDF for all the parts for the shop cabinets  that will save you tons of money 3/4" for the frames and 1/4" for the panels or 3/4" MDF for the raised type. The only bit you will need is the T & G set if you use the 1/4" for the panels. Make the cabinets in door frame way,sides,face frames,backs,etc.all with MDF..... =============== Quote:

If you decide to use MDF, may I suggest that you wear a mask while cutting and milling. MDF dust, as well as any sawdust, is really bad for your lungs. I use a lot of MDF and that stuff is nasty while cutting.
