1. MDF-(Medium Density Fibreboard)
MDF is a type of hardboard which is made from wood fibres glued under heat and pressure. MDF has many qualities that make it an ideal alternative to plywood or chipboard. It is dense, flat, stiff, has no knots and is easily machined. Its fine particles provide a material without a recognisable"grain). Unlike plywood and blockboar, MDF contains no internal voids, and will produce better edges providing that it is correctly machined.
