Why would aluminum be a problem? There are thousands of aluminum toped
router tables and tablesaws out there. You figure that people buy these so
they can do ugly work? It's not a problem.

I have a 1/2", 10" x 10" or so flat aluminum plate that I'd like to
use to mount a router in my router table. Problem is the aluminum is
not anodized so I'm concerned it will mark the wood. I'm thinking of
gluing formica to the top of the plate. Anyone have alternate
suggestions? Thanks.
