Most of the time if you buy wood (MDF) from home depot or lowes they will cut it for you. After 5 or 6 cuts they will carge you like 25 cents a cut.

Figure out the mesurements you want then subtract the size of the wood. Then have them cut it for you. Makes it simple that way. Last option would be invest in a table saw.

well homedepot (thats where i bought it)they said they wouldnt cut it they would only cut it in half they dont do exact measurements.. if i took it to lowes would they cut it or do u have to purchase the wood there for them to cut it

A good tablesaw is a must for any good woodworker. The Skillsaw(I'm assuming you mean circular saw) will get you by as long as you get yourself a straightedge and some clamps for a guaranteed straight cut.

My myself will rip everything first with the circular saw (only because I don't feel like fixing my table saw), then finish everything with the trusty router.

what do clamps look like like the kind ur talkin bout?

[Supa_c 1]

Get C clamps, not the crappy ones that are spring loaded.

Sometimes if you get a jerk they wont cut it, all depends on the employee

kk thanks!!

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Yes, you can go to places that have "cheap" tools and get really good sets of C-clamps on the cheap. For a straight edge, I use a piece of 3/8" flat stock steel 50" in length, 2" wide. Gives you a good surface to clamp onto, and is thick enough that you don't have to worry too much about it bending easily or warping. Measure accordingly for your blade curf (blade thickness), and the distance away from your saw's base and place the straightedge there, clamp into place and you're ready to cut.

Many people originated from ca.com and the majority of the nOObs ther have an attitude that they know it all and when you try to help them, they don't appreciate it or just don't follow and want to argue. Whole different ballgame over here.
