Router Table top

Yep, the best order IMHO:

1. Glue the mdf sheets together if you’re using a double layer.
2. Trim to size.
3. Apply hardwood edging and trim flush with the top.
4. Laminate BOTH sides, then trim the laminate and use a chamfer or roundover bit on the edges of the table.
5. The rest of the table work (slots for fence, plate opening, etc.).

You glue the formica to MDF first.

You might want to glue to pieces of MDF together, it makes a really good top. MDF also stays flat, which is perfect for a router table top.

Thanks!
