   since the glue contains water, using biscuits on MDF can cause splits on the edge as the biscuit expands, or at the least can leave a slight bulge on the surface.  I only use biscuits in solid wood and 3/4" ply myself.

   1 - measure the board twice, 2 - cut it once, 3 - measure the space where it is supposed to go        4 - get a new board and go back to step 1

   I've used biscuits with 3/4" MDF. Havn't had any problems.

   wood glue can cause slight swelling in MDF. Though it is not likely to be a problem. The only real advise I can give is to not use the fence unless you have to. It is always better to reference off the bottom of the plate joiner.

   Make sure that your next project is beyond your skill and requires tools you don't have. You won't regret it.
