I'm also planning on making my own cabinet doors. But instead of trying to rout out the wood, I'm simply going to use molding trim to decorate the flat wood with. I'll juse use my sander to smooth out the edges all the way around.

What type of router bit can I use to route the square in the centre of the MDF board?

I made the face frames as well as the cabinet doors from 3/4 inch MDF. They machine quite nicely with a router and then can be sealed and painted. Excellent alternative to hardwood if you are planning on painting.

Yes, you can router MDF. My husband and I recently made a huge bookcase headboard and foot board, and we used the router to smooth the edges and it came out great. Good luck
