I am working on a project where I need to cut some rectangles inside a piece of 3/4" MDF. I made a few of them using a Forstner bit and Skil saw, cleaning it up with a file and sanding block. The first one was tough, the 3rd one went smoother and turned out better. However, I can't help but think there should be a way to use a plunge router with a jig and pin or something along those lines.
What is the best practice on something like this? Can a jig be built using lumber or is is better to purchase something that is easily adjusted? Can you show me an example of something like this being used in a picture or video?
See pics of my current technique and results. The results are pretty good, and perfectly acceptable as these will not be seen, but want to learn.
Cheers,
Gavin
