Silvergirlsails Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I plan on changing one of the Interior doors in Victoria’s Farmhouse to a French door which is an Exterior door size. I will need to cut the MDF interior door hole to accommodate this exterior door. What did you use to cut the MDF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvergirlsails Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Don't know how to edit this post, or delete the topic. I do not have an electric saw--it is a small amount of cutting that needs to be done, and it would be done by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 What tools do you have? You would need to drill a hole in the corner of each side big enough to fit a small saw blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little X-acto saw is working beautifully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvergirlsails Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 For anyone struggling to cut MDF, I found this tutorial about "clearing cuts", cuts made to remove ribbons of material at the cutting edge so that your saw or knife won't keep getting "stuck" as you are cutting: https://dollhouseworkshop.net/RGT/Blogs/Cutouts/UtilityKnifeCutout.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an addition on the way and was looking for info on how to do this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
