Terry, I also built an extension wing table fitted to my table saw. And, I too will likely go to a larger, dedicated table soon. MDF on the first one, MDF on the next. Very flat and smooth. I used a double thickness of 3/4" pieces glued together with contact cement, then I glued on a laminate top (also with contact cement) to give it longevity. If you go with a laminate top (I think it is 1/16", available at your finer home stores ;-]) I'd recommend a downcut spiral bit to avoid chipping the laminate. I made the top and applied the laminate before cutting in the miter slot (or T-tracks). Worked well, though I'm sure there are other ways of doing it. After you get the laminate cut, I'd switch to a straight or upcut bit so you can take a little bigger bite. Probably don't have to, but..... Good luck, William R.
