can I use some MDF covered in formica? Thanks Michael

No - you must use specified outfeed table material.
Its all covered in the FAQ.




Dude - use what ever you want to use.
As long as its flat and sticks out behind your tablesaw your good to go.

I used melamine. Probably lighter, cheaper, and comes in wider pieces.

Yes, and get a longer wearing, tougher table top than with the
melamine

Melamine is just MDF with a lightweght thermofused later on the top
and bottom. Not going to be any lighter than the same size and
thickness MDF

I'm not sure where you're finding melamine with an MDF core
but you're more than likely to find particleboard being used
for the substrate.

Not going to be any lighter than the same size and
thickness MDF

Unless it isn't an MDF core.

I think that typically it is more like particle board than MDF.
I have never seen any melamine that is equivalent in density to MDF.
Maybe it exists somewhere...
