| Registered User Forum Geek |  Bob's router tables Bobj3: I have looked at some of your router tables. Hunting through the old threads can take quite some time. What do you like to make the tops out of? Are your tables mobile? If so, what do you use. Thanks Steve Bolton |

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Hi Steve " tables mobile? " yes to a point, that's to say I can move them about the shop and out the garage door,,,for the long jobs..I use casters most of the time with one pair with locks but I also use lock boards, that's to say a 2" hole in the ends so the caster drops in and lock the cabinet in place,, sometimes the lock type casters do let the cabinet move sometimes but the drop and lock type will hold any cabinet in place... Tops,,,,I used just about everything, MDF,hardboard on top of MDF ,plywood,plastic over MDF,phenolic,etc. the one I like best is the phenolic tops. I do like to keep it KISS,,, as Harry calls it (keep it super simple)..just 2 sides and no back or front...to speak about... ============= Quote:

| Registered User Forum Geek | I see on the Woodpecker's website that they claim MDF is flatter than phenolic. I suppose that is a sales pitch. sb |
