Does MDF turn?


Yes. At school I made a plug for vacuum-forming by turning a block made
of stacked layers of MDF. Worked quite well. Obviously I had to finish
it with some sort of smooth sealant for release; I don't know if the
surface would have been acceptable without it.

I don't remember using any sort of PPE except goggles though; this would
have been the late nineties.
