Cutting Mdf
I need to cut out a 2mm deep small rectangle out of mdf board which is about 5cm thick, it doesn't have to be too neat, but i have no idea how to do it, i was thinking with a chisel maybe? what do you think?

Have you got a drill, tandh ?. If you have then I would mark out the small rectangle thats to be cut out and drill a series of small holes around it ( 2mm deep ) and then cut out the rectantange with a sharp chisel.

thanks for all the advice, using a drill and chisel worked a treat and it only took about 30 mins to do 4 rectangles :-) I brought the router for my ex to use, but he's not in the picture anymore. I have been so tempted to use it, but i think i'll end up doing more harm than good. @ the builder - i think for once my weakness has come in handy as i went though it so slowly i was able to stop when i needed too. Thank you for all your advice on the safety side of things too, i didn't realise it can cause so much harm
