    Default Cutting Masonite...?

    Hi every one, like always I have a question regarding this material ( Masonite ), I have to make some straight cuts on a couple of sheets, 1/4 of an inch thick and I need to know what speed, feed, rpm and what tool to use for this job, it is the first time I'v seen this material, the customer told me it is hard.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    I use it to make templates and other stuff like that out of. I use a 1/4 spiral and i usually leave my speed at 1.7 - 2.0 ips (I go slow). I have found if you go too fast it leave a "paper peeled" jagged edge. It kind of stinks too but not too bad.

    Thank you Jack for your answer, I will go slow to, I have a super "o" from ONSRUD, and I'm planing to use it, lets see how it works.
