MDF 1” Thick MDF Top

[RogerP]

Is there anyone making MFT tops that are 1” thick MDF and are approximately 5’ x 3’.

Does it need to be exactly 1" thick or "about" 1" thick? 

If "about" 1" thick is acceptable, I would just make my own using a sheet of 1/2" thick MDF, cutting it out into 2() 3'x5' pieces and gluing them together.

That's exactly what I did for my workbench top and it has worked out very well.  HOWEVER, it does not get used as an MFT top.

If you do make one, be warned that the regular Festool clamps won't go through a 20mm hole in anything thicker than a normal top, unless you put a radius on the bottom.

Andy and Andrew, thank you both for your input.
