How much do you pay for 4x8 sheets of MDF

[glenn bradley]

3/4x49x97 = about $28 in my part of SoCal.

[Larry Edgerton]

I pay $35 a sheet for the premium grade I use for patterns, and $28 for the normal mid grade the my supplier stocks. I use the mid grade for exterior signs.

[James White]

I'm paying $28 for top grade MDF, around $35 for ultra light in 3/4" thickness. The ultra light machines much better and is far easier to handle but not as durable, if you can call ANY mdf product durable. We make a lot of door panels with ultra light for paint grade raised panels. I would not want to try and lift a 1 3/4"X4X8 sheet of regular MDF on to the panel saw on any regular basis! Nor would I want to try and hang the door of which they are then made.

Peter,

If I am not mistaken you are in CT. Were do you buy your MDF?

25 for 3/4 - 4 x 8 MDF and 1/2 inch is 20 in Boston at HD.

1/2 sanded 4 x 8 which I'm putting on my shop walls is 20 bucks.

Sanded 4 x 8 3/4 ply is running around 32 a sheet.

"Sanded"? MDF
I've never heard of such a thing. Whats the deal?

[Steve Southwood]

4x9 sheets are $15 each, 1/2" or 3/4". I just go to the local furniture factory and pick up a couple when needed. They do most of the CNC work around the area, so they stock a lot.

$15 for 3/4 - 4 x 8 MDF in China.

That's a great price for 3/4 MDF, Luis.

Although I'm not sure why you bumped a 4 year old thread.

3/4 MDF is about $35 now, and 1/2" is about $25. Lowe's prices.

[Joe Shinall]

We have two places to get them from here. Big blue borg or big orange borg. Both $35 for 3/4. No grades, just expensive damn panels.

And I just noticed I am replying to a 4 year old thread as well........

[Wade Lippman]

How does anyone even come across a 4 year old thread, let alone reply to it?
