The markup for cutting MDF is insane though. A 2440 x 1220 x 12mm thick board is about £15. If I want that ripped into three long boards of 2440 x 400 it would cost between £25 and £35 + delivery. So that's a markup of at least £10 per board, increasing if you want smaller pieces.
I could buy a Festool ts 55 for £360, make all the stuff I need and sell it again in a couple of months for £250. That seems better value and more flexible.
Am I missing something, where do you suggest getting it cut?
