Bronze Member Username: ChriskleinPost Number: 42 Registered: Aug-05 | About the cuts like sean said. I got all of my wood cut from the MDF sheet at lowes for free, more then once. They were really helpful. They even helped me the first time with making sure that i had the right sizes to build my enclosure. |

Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 728 Registered: Sep-04 | hmmmmmmmm ... maybe i should bring it back to home depot and have them cut it... idc if i have to pay 30$ |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 9161 Registered: Dec-03 | most home improvement stores have a sign back by the saw that says they don't do precision cuts. basically they just rip boards so they'll fit into your car. accurate cuts are your problem. |
