What about oak?

Do you mean solid Oak? It takes to much time to make a box out of a solid hardwood unless your making a nice quality looking home audio box.

Done correctly means having the proper blade teeth and height. Otherwise, you can burn the wood or chip the veneer.

No chipping, no burning, and a brand new blade. The same day I was cutting up two different types of birch, I was also cutting the MDF. I'm not sure of the teeth though as my friend bought the blade. We had the height set to about 1 1/8" or so if I recall correctly. Cutting the MDF on the saw was like cutting through 1/8" cardboard -- I've never felt anything go through so smooth. This also includes some 1/8" masonite and 1x3 pine cleats.

On another forum, I have been told Oak plywood is the best option.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
