I am planning on building a router table out of 3/4" MDF with formica top. I have a Rousseau table insert for the table, model RM 3509. What do I need to know not to do?

Welcome Ted. To make your top last you need to wrap the outside edge with hardwood, then cover the entire top and bottom with Formica. Route a small chamfer on the edges and it will look great and help keep moisture out. I also use a Rousseau plate. Lots of people think they dont work right but in the real world they perform very well.
