Torsion box question

I think a torsion box is the way to go if you need to have a flat surface and the supports for the table are relatively few and far between.

If your setup is going to be stationary and the space below the top is more-or-less filled with cabinets I don’t think a torsion box is really necessary. I would consider attaching the top to the cabinets with pocket hole screws every foot or so. Then, starting at the table saw top, work outward screwing down the top, shimming as necessary to keep it level.

A single sheet of plywood/mdf over a simple frame, as I did with my outfeed table, makes for a plenty flat surface.

Thanks for replies guys, here’s the framing below, I plan to add reinforcements as I build it, but the basic design is there, I imagine that should be strong enough to keep a relatively flat table (I hope)
