    Where to find mdf?? Big box store

    I am trying to find 3mm and 6mm mdf at a big box store (lowes, menards or home depot - all within 15 mins of me). If you get your supplies from them could you PM me the barcode number on the item? I have only found 2'x4' sheet of 1/4in mdf at HD for around $5.50. I usually use masonite (hardboard used for clipboards) but it is very oily and would prefer to use 1/8in mdf.

    Thank you.

    Here's the 3mm stuff from Home Depot. Cuts like a charm.

    I design, engineer and program all sorts of things.

    Oh, and I use Adobe Illustrator with an Epilog Mini.

    You've got 3mm at your store? My local one (Yorba Linda) hasn't stocked it in months.

    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

    The world makes a lot more sense when you remember that Butthead was the smart one.

    Costa Mesa on Harbor and Wilson. It's the only one around that I find metric.

    Mine has 6mm, 12mm, and 18mm...sort of: the odd bit is, the tag on the material itself says 1/4", 1/2", and 3/4", the shelf tags say 0.236", 0.472", 0.708". And of course they usually measure out some multiple of 0.24".
