Planning to build a router table and thought it might be nice to have a gridded surface. Has anyone tried using a cutting mat, laminated to something like mdf, as the surface of a router table?
The self-healing mats seem like they might not be quite smooth enough, but I've seen some mats that are harder and have a slightly beaded texture... could work well.
It may be a dumb idea but seems like there might be some utility in it.
Thoughts?
