Thread: Melbourne sources for MDF offcuts

G'day Bob,

Have you tried asking around cabinet making shops & the like?

Most timber merchants aren't very willing to sell small pieces like that, but I have found A. Lewis at http://www.alewistimber.com.au/ to be quite helpful. They're also fairly close to where I live, so use them a bit.

They sell 6' x 3' x 1" sheets of 'out of spec' MDF. The sheets are usually "over weight" and sell for @$20 each which is less than 1/2 price. They sometimes have other thicknesses "out of spec" as well. Nothing wrong with the sheets, but they are out of specification and a lot of his cabinet makers will not touch them. I believe they have a cutting service as well, but don't quote me.

Drop into Brentool (next door) and play with the Festool gear and whatnot after

...or AllBoard's Head Office:
