Do most of you all prefer 3/4 MDF, or a good grade of plywood for making your jigs?
I just hauled in a sheet of 3/4 MDF from BORG Saturday, I thought, I'm getting too old for this. Too heavy.
I know that MDF holds it's shape so well ("dimensional stability"?), doesn't chip out--but doesn't like any water on it. And, prefers T-Nut instead of a regular screw in it, right?
Down side to a high grade of plywood is...not all that much lighter, and may chip out(?) But T-nuts not necessary for holding fixtures in place.....
Seems like most of those cool jigs that go over the rip fence are MDF.
Anything I miss here?
Am thinking of building the outfold extension table next week, or the drill-press table while I'm off work. (my activity on this site will spike then, I'm sure)
