Table Surface (probably attach later?)
The deck surface of your table is created from several sheets of plywood or MDF. It makes
logical sense to consider how you will install the deck at this time, but most customers find
it more convenient to wait to do the final attachment of the table surface until after the tool
is fully assembled. At the moment, you’ll probably want to just lay a sheet or two of
plywood onto the cross supports to use as a work area. But we’ll explain the table surface
now.
Suggested Materials
For your Table Surface or Deck we recommend 3 layers of material to provide good rigidity.
• Support Board (bottom layer)
¾” Shop grade or cabinet grade plywood or better (birch, maple, poplar…hardwoods)
• Plenum Board or 2nd Layer if not installing a Vacuum System
¾”Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) or
¾” High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or
Another sheet of ¾” plywood if not installing vacuum
• Spoil Board
½” LDF or
5/8” MDF surfaced on both sides to a thickness of 3/8” or
½”-¾” MDF if not installing vacuum
Attaching the Table Surface
Refer to the Measured Table Drawing for your tool for positioning information for the table
surface. The drawings also show how to position multiple sheets if your table is larger than
4x8. You will center the support board(s) in the X direction. There should be about 1.5” of
material past the end support at each end. In the Y direction if your material exactly
