MDF is a great choice. Stable, relatively durable and easy to machine for
fittings, channels, etc.

If you want to make one that is pretty, Maple is also a good choice. I
built a Maple fence with channels and end extensions for my 30 year-old
drill press a year or so ago. It is absolutely the 'purdiest' part of that
old machine.

I plan on builing a router fence that sits on top of my table saw fence,
would laminated MDF be a good choice of material for the face?
