Has anyone worked with the Extira Product. Looks like MDF but the similarity ends there.
The Manufacturer claims it will not absorb water (I'm gonna break out a postage scale and verify this by soaking a sample). Has anyone (I'd guess it'd be a great sign substrate) cut this using a SB?
I started into a decent sized job with their 1/2" material today today and almost immeadeatly broke a 1/4 Upcut bit (1.3 @ 16k RPM). The top and bottom edges were fuzzy but otherwise the cut was clean.
Before I run through a battery of bits/feeds/rpms, I thought I'd ask if anyone has gone through this - I'd really like to do it in a single pass.
I'll have 24x24 and 24x30 peices left over if anyone wants to pay the postage and has use for scraps this size (first come, first serve so please don't take offense if I have none to send).
