Sanforized- No clue

I like Formica, or similar. Waxed, it's very slick. Cheaper the UHMW, too.

Formica is an excellent solution for the surface. The substrate materials are what bothers me. Weight is an issue as is the ability (tendency) to remain flat.

There are times that I use the outfeed table as a cantilevered surface. When cantilevered, weight is critical.

Quite true Dusty.
I guess a guy could build a torsion box....if he had the time.

Ask someone at HD or where ever for Homasote? and see the looks you get. We used to use it as a sound deadner? for Model Train boards.

Hey Dusty,
I had a rare thought. How about using HDO....or, MDO? Since it's a ply core, it should be considerably lighter than MDF. And, still cheaper than UHMW. A 3/4X4X8 sheet is about $70.
1/2", is cheaper and lighter, of course.
You'd find HDO/MDO at a concrete supply place. Maybe HD or LOWES, too???

You can find homasote at Menard's (if you have one).
