I have a 10 inch table saw.....What is the easiest way to cut a full sheet of mdf? I always **** up the sheet severly on the first cut being that its so big where do you feed it from in other words where do you stand and any other ideas?

Cut them in 1 in increments bigger than what they need. Most panel saws like ours (I work for Lowes) are off by 1/8" per 48".

Best time to ask is wed or thurs...around 7:15- 7:45 pm.

some employees have some grand vision or idea or something that it is okay for the blade to be spinning opposite of the board. The blade should be spinning into the board. Thus jamming the saw.Then they push harder because it won't cut, thus warping the blade, if they stop soon enough.

Again, as I edited...got wed or thurs... between 7 and 8 (if your store closes at 9) and you will more than likely recieve good service. Between 3 and 6 there are lunches, before 3 we deal with contractors, after 8 we are closing up.

No guarentees as we are trying to hot wall streets estimate on 3rd quarter after the stock split. They have been firing folks left and right to meet the numbers. Best bet is to call beforehand and see if the guy on the phone is cool. Sorry it isn't very customer friendly but that is kinda the way it is.
