Yeah
I'm going to check the hobby shops next week.
It is reasonable to expect mfrs to direct you to their dealers but G-P doesn't answer their phone.

Yep, Midwest Products offers craft and aircraft modeling grades of birch plywood from 1/64" to 1/2" thick in several sheet sizes: 12x12, 12x24, etc.
You might also check out some old school drafting supply stores for architectural chipboard or where you can find it by the sheet, Taskboard. The latter is available in several thicknesses up to 1/8" I think. It's flat and stable but it can be wet formed into complex curves.

Thanks for that name. That will work if I can't find mdf. I have some chipboard and considered that as well. Just need to find the various thicknesses.

If you're willing to consider plywood, Anderson International, in Los Angeles, offers baltic birch in thicknesses as low as .4 mm. http://www.aitwood.com/StoreFront.As...irch%20Plywood
How much do you need?
I've ran stuff down to 1/8" in the widebelt, but I don't think mdf would survive going that thin. Just not stiff enough.
Another option would be to get 1/4", and have someone with a cnc suck it down and hit it with a fly cutter to thickness.
