How does MDF actually act in comparison to other woods when being drilled?
I assume that it drills easier in some respects because it has no "grain"
compared to other woods...
Does it compare to a typical hardwood or is it soft enough that it fills
up the flutes on a drill bit quickly like pine does, etc.
I find that it drills just fine. Nothing unusual other than a bit fuzzy on
larger holes when drilled with a regular twist drill. Forstner bits do just
fine. Because it is so dry I have no problems with it sticking in the
flutes.
