MDF VCarve

[Jason R]

So after being on these forums a bit and having my machine for some time, I am fairly confident in toolpath generation and workflow. I had yet to carve MDF as the last time I attempted it, it jacked up my lungs.

Since I built an enclosure, it was officially time to do it.

This design was based off the sandyeggo version but modified for a friend who prefers Captain America over Ironman.

Looks great! How did you finish it?

Looking good man. Really superb piece.
As you have realized... A good dust mask is a real necessity with mdf especially. Please don’t expose yourself to all that dust.

I coated the mdf in Rustoleum Triple Glaze then sprayed the black. I followed that with a sanding and a final triple coat.

Definitely won’t. Going to purchase a good mask in a week or so/buy a nice dust collector.
