I've never built a cabinet from MDF mainly because I'm gun-shy about how to hold them together. Rabbits and dados instead of butt joints are probably a good idea and wood glue could be TBII or TBIII.
Which screws to use is my question. I've read that regular wood screws could work but the preferred screws are "Spax" or "Confirmat" types. What's unique about these screw type designs (deeper/coarser thread grooves?) vs a regular wood screw which makes them better for MDF? What's your experience with both? TIA.
Here are McFeely's "Spax" screws and they look almost like a regular#8 wood screw (untapered shaft).
