Router Table Question - Damp Garage

I don’t know anything about snow, but here in south Louisiana the humidity hovers in the 70-90% range for much of the year, and my shop is in an un-air conditioned garage. I can’t say that I have to take any special precautions due to dampness, or that I have any warpage problems.

as long as you use a good quality ply wood i would have to say your in the clear as far as warping goes mdf would also be a good choice. i point out the mdf simply because lost of states use it to make road signs with and it holds up.

I would suggest using 2 layers of 3/4” MDF glued and screwed together, and laminate the top and bottom of the MDF to keep out any moisture. I”d build the case,or carcuss, out of 3/4” BB plywood, put 2-3 coats of your favorite finish on it(I always put 2-3 coats od Tung Oil on mine), and install 2- 21/2” locking casters to keep it off the wet floor. I think if you do this the moisture won’t bother you. If you get more than 2” of snow in the garage, you’ll need taller casters !!! lol lol. Works for me.
