What type of screw is best for MDF?

For MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard), the best type of screw is a coarse-thread, wood screw, preferably with a sharp tip for easy insertion. These screws help prevent splitting and provide a strong grip in the dense material. It's also beneficial to use screws with a flat or oval head to create a flush finish. Pre-drilling pilot holes can further minimize the risk of damage when working with MDF.
