2-1/4" Maple Butcher Block as Table Saw Extension Wing?

I made a glued up router table top. A few years ago I had to reduce size, so I converted it to an extension for my craftsman table saw. I recently purchased a grizzly cabinet saw so I converted it once again. I like it.

A maple extension should be doable, but you should also be able to “persuade” your cast iron wing into being flush and reasonably flat unless it’s in really bad shape.

A low-friction surface is what I want all around my sawblade. Do you have a plan to make the maple slickery?

Plastic laminate is an ideal material: very hard, low friction, and available in an array of attractive, modern decorator colors, as well as some totally unconvincing photographs of actual wood, airbrushed to a repetitive pattern. Mounted on MDF, both sides, you’ve got a gol durn flat surface.

Kindly,

Lee
