I keep a spare piece or two of 1/4 masonite to lay over my bench top when
I'm servicing the chain saw or some other nasty task. Keeps the top a lot
nicer that way.

Hardboard aka Masonite... cheap and replaceable. I also use carpet pad on
mine, more to protect the project than the workbench since mine all have
osb tops.

One thing you'll learn about this group, you can ask a simple question and
get a dozen replies that don't answer your question. :-) But that's what
makes it unique.
