would laminated MDF be a good choice of material for the face?



It's worked great for me. Be sure to laminate both sides of the work
surface to keep it flat if you're not attaching it to some sort of
reinforcement. Most Biesemeyer-style table saw fences are either MDF or
birch ply under the face laminate.

In some cases, like spot made special fences, I don't even bother to
laminate the face. I simply paste wax the MDF and use the fence.


Where does one buy laminate anyway? This is where a bunch of people
will chime in on how they get off cuts for free from some cabinet
place or something, but where do you buy the stuff? Google just gets
me to a billion links about flooring.
