      Do you make jigs?

      Makes great jigs and bases for jigs and tools. Great for bench tops and work surfaces where moisture may be present. Wears well in these situations. I mostly use 3/4 but 1/2 inch is good where weight is a factor. [...]

      Slick plywood

      I used this enhanced version of Baltic birch ply to make my tablesaw sled, hoping to minimize friction with the tablesaw top. It's expensive, but it worked well. Some care must be taken when drilling holes to avoid tearing the phenolic facing.
