As I've noted in other posts I am in the proccess of building my first woodworking bench. My frame is all put together and am planing on laminating some 3/4" MDF for the top tomorrow (3-4 peices). I just recieved my 9" quick release Rockler WW vise and am shocked at how heavy this thing is. Is 3 peices of MDF going to be able to hold this thing up? I would use 4 peices but would have to mortise out under where the vise is mounted to get the faces close to level with the bench top. Or should I be looking at different methods of creating my top? On a tight budget at the moment.
