The surface of MDF is very smooth, and you don’t have to worry about knots on the surface.
Because it’s so smooth, it’s a great surface for painting. I recommend first priming with a quality oil-based primer. (Don’t use aerosol spray primers on MDF!! It just soaks right in, and is a huge waste of time and money. It will also cause the surface to become rough.)
Also because of its smoothness, MDF is a great substrate for veneer.
MDF is very consistent throughout, so cut edges appear smooth and won’t have voids or splinters.
Because of the smooth edges, you can use a router to create decorative edges.
The consistency and smoothness of MDF allows for easy cutting of detailed designs (such as scrolled or scalloped designs) using a scroll saw, band saw, or jigsaw.
