durable CP surfaces

Another vote for MDF (3/4" on mine) with Plexi/Lexan for the top.

I was hoping to use Lexan but Home Depot didn't have a sheet that was anywhere near the right size.  One that was a touch too small, and one that was 3x the size i needed and 60 something bucks.  So I got a $13 piece of plexi and it worked out great.

Go for lexan if you can though, its a better material

I'm having really good luck w/ black pica vinyl covering.  The stuff is durable and very easy to clean.

Actually Plexiglass (acrylic) is more scratch resistent than Lexan (polycarbonate). The hardness of plexi makes it harder to work with though. It cracks easily when you try to drill holes in it.

Personally I prefer a matte laminated CPO print, but if you must go for some extra cover then plexi is the best material

BORIStheBLADE:

If that stuff from mamemarquees is that good then I might just go with that stuff.

leapinlew:

I've used both. I prefer Mamemarquees without any plexi.

Plexi requires more maintenance. On the machines I installed it on, I need to remove it to clean the dust particles from underneath.
