Hi all! I've recently inherited two sheets of MDF and I'm planning on using them to build the laundry basket dresser from them, but I'm not totally sure on what the best method of cutting them would be...I have a jig saw, a miter saw, and a reciprocating saw. Anyone have ideas on the best way to cut the panels?

Unfortunately ... a circular saw and a saw guide are the best way to get a clean cut on sheet goods.
If the Jigsaw is heavy duty - not a light craft saw - and you use a guide fence and a new blade specially for making smooth cuts, it will do OK.
Miter saw ... cut path too short.
Reciprocating saw ... rough cuts and not easy to guide.
