I have a Grizzly G0623X and it does have a slightly larger footprint inside the shop. I need to get some more additional surfaces for doing assembly and figured that to kill two birds with one stone, why not built a larger outfeed/assembly table around the G0623X and problem solved.
I had loads of 5/8 ply kicking around so I made up all the body of the unit, but what is left is my top. I live in Canada so trying to find that phenolic plywood is a no go. It just isn't available anywhere near me. I have several big sheets of 3/4" baltic birch that would work but they are not all the totally flat and would require putting on some melamine laminate over.
I can hit the big box for some 3/4 or 5/8" MDF that is perfectly flat. Glue two sheets together and be done. Flood the top with some urathaine and be done. I could also go with melemine covered compressed particle board. I know glue would not stick to that, but don't know how well it will stay flat. Also, as glue doesn't stick to it, it's so easy to glue two together for rigidity. Could epoxy and screw two together.
What would be the best bet to get this table done. I want to get into the shop and start building things again, but without any room to work it seems like a futile thing to do.
Matt.
