How well does MDF plane, if at all? I've constructed a three-sided housing out of half-inch MDF to cover some pipes, but one edge is proud and has to be brought down so it's flush with the face of the next board. The amount to be removed isn't much, around one-sixteenth, but this is over an eight foot length and the work has to be done with the housing in place, so I'm reluctant to sand it because of the mess.
So, to repeat: how well does MDF plane? Or is there another way? If I do use a plane, I'll be buying or hiring one specially.
Many thanks.
