Drilling mdf - 1/4" 2 flute carbide end mill. Does it matter coated, or uncoated? Looking for best bit life, avoid burning, etc......
Running PC router, best feed and RPM?

The best results when drilling come from using a bit that is slightly smaller in diameter than the hole and using a spiral plunge with a cleanup pass. Much better for the bit and the router bearings.
