MDF and hardboard are the same...(carpenter here guys...among other things) and it's a pain in the butt to cut no matter how you look at it...you can score the heck outa it with a knife and try snapping it but this tends to leave a leaf like effect along the cut edge...best thing to use is a panel blade in a standard circular saw...best thickness is standard 1/4 inch...(actually it's 5/32nds but what the heck...)...basically it's the same stuff that clipboards are made of, for those of you that can't picture it...Home depot sells it in 4X8, 4X4, 2X4 and 2X2 sheets...you can also cover it with 1/4" foam board it comes in sections that are folded from 4X8 to 4X2...yer lookin at droppin about $28 USD on this little project...
