My new router lift has a different size plate than my 2-decade-old plate. Hence, a new extension is called for, with a router-plate recess.
The extension will be bolted to the saw, of course. It’ll be a pine frame with a 3/4 Baltic birch top (reinforced by extra framing around the router), covered with Formica, attached by contact cement.
I went to a local cabinet shop for the Formica, and let them talk me into a thin sheet (about 1/32”) used for doors, not counters. Now I’m reluctant to use it. Should I expect any problems using the thin sheet?
