Cutting 6mm MDF - Moisture on underside

Post by Michaelea »

OK adjusted a few things and finally gotten to cut through 6mm MDF

I had another piece of scrap MDF between the Table and the Top 6mm sheet, would this be Moisture from the Assisted Air or what could it be and what caused it?

It migh be the glue, mdf has a lot of glue in it, which might be heating up when the flame cuts through.
