 just built a MDF table
This is how I built my table after spending a couple of months tinkering with different ideas. I glued up a 3/4" sheet of MDF to a 1/4" sheet of MDF. I then topped the 1/4" with 1/4" hardboard. I cut out a 7" diameter hole in the 3/4" and drilled mounting holes through the other 2 layers. My Hitachi M12VC is bolted to the 1/4" MDF and 1/4" (slightly thinner than 1/4") hardboard. I then trimmed the edges with 3/4" SYP to leave no exposed edges. My table is 24" X 36" with the router mounted centered left to right and 10" from the back. I used a 1-1/2 Forstner bit for the hole then enlarged it with a 1/2" roundover by coming straight up. Used it yesterday for the first time and it worked beautifully. Total cost of materials $22.00. All from Home Depot. I'm a very happy camper!
I have been reading this site for a couple of months and will make my introduction post soon.
