MFT Surface - Is Oiling Necessary? Recommended?

[sancho57]

I dont use anything.

Its a sacrificial replaceable top.

Sure I try not to cut into it, but after all it is a work top.

When it gets to bad I flip it over.

My MFT lives in the van or on site. I oiled both sides with counter top oil and it works very well. I also cut directly into the top so every few months it gets filled with 2 pack and sanded flat and re oiled. The holes are reamed out with a 20mm bit. It's holding up very well despite all the scars

I'm sorry, what is 2 pack?

Absolutely true, but there's no harm in trying to prolong it's usable life by a bit.
