Angus, There are many ideas on how to make the best router table top. Ready for a revelation? They all work. The Router Workshop table top is 3/4" thick baltic birch plywood with laminate on both sides. The close supports provide enough rigidity to keep the table from flexing. The ShopNotes #1 table plan I first built uses 1/2" plywood topped with two 1/4"(or one 1/2") layers of hardboard covered both sides with laminate. Both of these designs are wrapped with hardwood trim. I prefer having the laminate covering since you can make lay out pencil marks on it that stay reasonably well, and they clean off easy when you wet them. Other members prefer different methods but they do all work.
