My assembly table is a torsion box, with a 1/4" x 4' x 8' melamine foil sheet lightly screwed to the top of the torsion box. I did wonder if the foil surface would be durable enough, but after about 6 or 8 years it is still in good condition.
No idea Don, i'm a newb with a track saw, hoping to make an accurate repetitive cut mft type table to make a bunch of cabinet carcass and learn to make segmented bowls, that triples as an assembly table and work table.

I'm hoping to make a large portion of the table have no holes in it though, but if need be, i'll probably throw down a few sheets of rosin paper.
