Looks promising! It does say other sizes available, but after a (admittedly) quick search I didn’t find it. |

I think the phenolic covering could pose problems for jigs that need to be glued up but it sure looks like a potential winner for table tops in the shop. Bob -- A mind, like a home, is furnished by its owner |

I went searching and finally found a mail address for them its here WHITE CAP INDUSTRIES, PO BOX 1770, COSTA MESA, CA 92626. I don’t suppose sending plywood across the country is cost effective. I went searching on Google for Phenolic Plywood. This page was in the first screen on Google. and it stated that is was 4 hours old. -- I've been blessed with a father who liked to tinker in wood, and a wife who lets me tinker in wood.

They have walk in stores across the country, (one by my house) shipping would not be a problem if you are near them. Here’s the store locator. http://www.whitecapdirect.com/locations/ -- MARK IN BOB, So. CAL |

You can scuff the surface with a belt sander using a 40 grit sanding belt and glue up using contact cement or a similar adhesive used for laminating countertops. |

Mski: I bought some of the Phenolic Plywood that you found. It is great stuff. Here is my blog -- I've been blessed with a father who liked to tinker in wood, and a wife who lets me tinker in wood. Appomattox Virginia [email protected] † |

Has anyone used this for an outfeed table? I’m getting ready to pick up a SawStop and think a matching black outfeed table would look cool. On the other hand, black may be a poor choice; hence the question. Thanks -- Don, San Antonio, TX |

Ask Karson, he was our Guenie Pig and tried it, from what He says it would work great, he said it was slick when waxed and I’m sure slicker than waxed cast iron. -- MARK IN BOB, So. CAL |

Mark, You are absolutely right about looking at the blade. BUT, when you peek out into your shop at night, or take folks out there, the “Tim the Toolman” in me says a SawStop with a black outfeed table would look neat. -- Don, San Antonio, TX |

I just went and picked up a sheet at Whitecap. It was 3/4” MDO with a nice tan coating. It only cost me $46 out the door. I was going to laminate on to either MDF or Birch ply. The cost of the laminate itself was $42 and then the cost of the ply so, even with me having to return the laminate and pay the re-stocking fee, I am going to come out ahead by at least $40. -- //FC - Round Rock, TX - "Experience is what you get just after you need it" |

Has anyone found a source for this outside of Woodcraft in the North East? |

Brent, The first post for this topic has a link to White Cap, which is where I got this sheet of Phenolic MD from. -- //FC - Round Rock, TX - "Experience is what you get just after you need it" |
