What is your preferred table top material?
I’m in the planning stage of a new router table build.
My shop is in an old toolshed, not climate controlled, so it is hot and humid in the summer and cold and dry in winter.(I use a woodstove to heat in winter)
My top will be roughly 44”x26”, 1 1/2” thick, edge banded with oak, and have plastic laminate on both sides.
Would mdf remain stable enough after cutting the t track slots and router opening, or should I use ACX plywood?
I seem to remember reading somewhere about making a “sealer” out of wood glue thinned with water and coat exsposed edges ( like router cut out). Would that help?
Sorry I got so long winded. Wanted to let you know all the information I could.
Thanks
Tom
