Kenny Creeden Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 LDF (light density fiberboard) is great for model making, and making replacements for furniture, such as a table leg cap, or a table fold. Also, its light and maneuverable, so you have tons of freedom on a bandsaw or scroll saw. Additionally, it is relatively easy to cut through, without risking strength, so you dont have to whip out your 20 inch radial arm saw! ;-). And one final pro to it, it is much much much less toxic to you than MDF, this way when cutting it you don't have to worry about your lungs collapsing an hour after your project! (Trust me, I have had a couple of patients with lung problems from this back in my EMT days). This is why I love LDF, and why you should too. Please reply with more pros/cons of LDF -Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I didn't even know LDF existed to be honest. I never really heard of it before till now. It's nice that is not a nasty is MDF is health wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigWagWorkshop Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Thank you for the tip, I will have to have a closer look into LDF. I mostly use Baltic Birch Ply for my projects, but I am always willing to try something new. -Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice that is not a nasty is MDF is health wise. Yea, MDF and HDF are treated with anti termite and pest chemicals, so when you cut them, the dust can be incredibly dangerous in large amounts, of an un-ventilated area. Wearing a dust mask when cutting it counteracts this of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalu Rash Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 i've never heard of LDF. I don't know why lol. it seems only logical that it would exist since everyone has heard of MDF and HDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swaglosrevival Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 That sound cool enough. Never heard of LDF. But I'll give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
