Does MDF turn?

Tried it once and once only! Turns into a horrible dust,

I'm not surprised at that considering it's little more than dust in the
first place. But did you mange to produce what you wanted or did it just
fall apart or tear?

ended up using a full face mask with air supply!!

A proper mask should be used when ever machining or cutting MDF, the dust
ends up very fine and gets deep into your lungs...

A bit more test fitting and so on suggests I won't be needing the lathe now,
but thanks to everyone who gave advice. It all sounded complicated so I'm
mildy relieved (a thousand other jobs to do on this car).
