Warning: MDF Mayhem *cough*!
Vigo:
If you have power tools that suck up extra sawdust as it cuts and sands, that helps a lot.

I've had mdf blown straight into my face from a router and never had any problems at all (Iforgot to pull down my goggles). I bought a pack of contractor grade 3m masks from lowes. Those masks are really good. They look like the cheapo white fiber masks, but they are really thick, and have filtration in them. If you don't have a professional mask, at least get these. Those paper masks are a joke.

All this talk of coughing and lungs hurting makes me wanna cig :P
Boz:
I've been researching and reading for nearly a year. I finally started my cabinet but used plywood instead of MDF because everyone said it's stronger. Now that I'm half into my cabinet and am considering making my CP out of MDF, I find this thread.
Great! Maybe I'll get lucky and kill my dogs with the fumes too.
Wait! I have an old M-12 military style gas mask. Maybe that'll work. ;D

You need a "Dust Collector" to cut MDF.

What a collossal and NON-NECESSARY expense. Also, quite the poor information to tell people they "need" one to cut MDF. Get a good dust mask and cut outside. If you MUST cut indoors, you can take a furnace filter and strap it to a box fan as a makeshift dust collector if you feel like you'll need one, but NOBODY "NEEDS" a dust collector to cut MDF.
Simply false. In2ishun, thanks for bumping this thread so misinformation can be addressed.
