CNC help. Need 1/2" MDF cut. Will pay

The laser “can” cut up to 1/2" - not sure if the quality will be good enough for you though.

It looks like @AmeliaG was cutting 1/2" lumber [but having a machine issue] in this post: https://talk.dallasmakerspace.org/t/blitzen-cutting-double-line-8-25/93286?u=tski
I assume [maybe incorrectly] she was cutting all the way through - she might have more details on quality.

Another way to do it would to cut a template from thinner wood on the laser and then use it with a straight cutting bit on the router table [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U4Op1wWo34].

Last way to do it would rough cut it on the bandsaw and then use the vertical belt sander to sand to the pencil line. You will just need be careful not to get too close to the line.

On another note: Go to the “Member Access (Green Dot)” and request your “Green Dot” which will open up the Members Only section of the forum.
