Our Engineered Router Tables are 31mm thick, really a 'ply' made up of MDF & Tempered Masonite. Given your location I'd look at laminating 2 pieces of MDF with Epoxy then putting a wear surface on it possibly melamine, but if available the 3 - 4 mm melamine they use in showers etc would be great, again Epoxy is the way to go, remember to brace and 'balance' the top with a backing the same as the face.

I hope that this helps.

Doing just as you have, 32mm MDF custom with HPL both sides but with gloss finish. Q: how did you go about routing out plate hole and mitre bar channel (presume you have one) or was this done by the custom manufacture? (trying to find ount the best way to avoid chipping of HPL.

With a lot of skill and a sharp router cutter.

Sharp being the secret.

Tip. Cut out the bulk with a jigsaw and trim the last 10mm with a router.

Ive found a Japanese company on the net where I can get some 30mm thick MDF, they will also cement Melamine on both the top and bottom surfaces.

Im going to brace the edges and bottom with a simple stud frame. Can anyone tell me how they have braced their tables? My table will be about 81cmx135cm, the same as the big woodpecker one. I would have just bought the woodpecker table, all drilled out for my Incra 25", but I would have needed a loan to pay the shipping cost to Japan.
