MDF uses rather nasty chemicals to bind the fibres together. when you cut it you tend to breathe this in and it is rather bad for you. <br /> <br />if you use powertools then the dust is very fine and is inhaled. <br /> <br />Plywood also uses glues like that but they are in much smaller quiantities because you are only gluing together sheets of stuff - to millions of fibres. <br /> <br />It's weight to stiffness ration is even lower than plywood - which takes some doing! i.e. it will be heavier and flex the same amount as plywood <br /> <br />in my carefully considered opinion MDF is crap.
