The top of my table (that’s where I will put my pcs for cutting) is 41.5”x 27.5” and I plan to cover it with one of these materials:
3/8” Thick MIC-6 Tooling Plate, $630.00
3/8” Thick Aluminum Plate, $390.00
1/4" Thick Aluminum Plate, $265.00
The first two are too expensive for me and I’m thinking to go with the 1/4" Aluminum plate. The span is not that big and if I put a longitudinal support underneath I feel that’s it should be ok.
What is your opinion?
