If you want to smooth the edge of mdf you just need to sand it through grits 125-400. Then it’s as smooth as the surface of the mdf.
I’ve cut quite a few mitres with the Mafell and it does need you to go slow and I usually clamp the rail. I’ve not had any problems with it but I don’t usually cut more than 400mm that way.

Aye, I think I’m probably lifting the saw, or doing something hokey. I’ve done a few max depth cuts to trim multiple boards and it didn’t feel like it was struggling the same way with the mitres, so I think the blade is still in good fettle.
Admittedly, rushing it last thing on a Friday was probably not the best method of testing. Will try again Monday with more thorough clamping and steadying the baseplate.
But yeah, butt joints for lyf! With a cheeky chamfer to take some two-pack for that smoove finish.
