Default MDF ok for rail and stiles?

8 poplar doors = $550.
vs
2 sheet MDF = $50
30bdft poplar = $75
My time = PRICELESS

As to the OP's original question ... and for him the question: Why even
bother with constructing mdf rails and stiles?

Most mdf cabinet doors are made entirely of a single piece of mdf, with
the
"raised panel" simply routed into the face, and the edges routed in an
appropriate profile.

Add a couple of 35mm hinge holes, fill, prime, paint and away you go.

If you're going with mdf in the first place, this is usually the
best/easiest/longer lasting approach, IME.


Why build them at all?
