I am trying to cut some support legs for a top i am making and the legs have to be two piece of 3/4 MDF with Plastic Laminate on both sides, giving me a material about 1.75\" thick. My question is has anyone ever cut anything this thick before? What bits were used? What kind of feed speed? Any help is apperiacted. Thanks in advance.

32mm is about 1-1/4" and 50mm is just under 2" (25.4mm per inch).Nick M Singer wrote:Yup I have run thick stuff like 32mm MDF (whats that 1 1/2" ?) or 50mm timber. I just do 2 or more passes and adjust my waste board thickness each time so as to not stress out my motor.
I've got a handy inch to metric calculator on eCabWorld that you can download. The name is "Inch to Metric Converter". Just key in the inch or mm and click in the other box and it converts for you.
