How do you drill holes in MDF?
I used an auger bit and a bit and brace to drill something like 20 holes into a 3″ thick laminated MDF top.

If you use an electric drill probably use one with a side handle because it will want to torque your wrist off.
Should you pre drill MDF?
A: Yes, creating what are called “pilot holes” will help prevent your wood boards—solid or MDF—from splitting or cracking when you drive a nail or screw through them.
