I'm going to build a new workbench (low-end) and was considering
laminating plywood, thick MDF, or using a solid core door as the top.

What is inside a solid core door? The door is 30" x 80". I only want
30" x 60". If I lop off 20" off of the end, what will I have?

Thanks.

Why not build a cross-lapped lattice frame, 3/4 [1"] old lumber will
do, depth 1.5" Then attach a decent 3/4" plywood top [and bottom if
you want.]

You might even scrounge the plywood at a home construction site. I
built my basement walls that way; stuff they thought of as scrap.
Times might have changed though.
