    Suggestions to make jigs out of?

    I'm going to make some new engraving jigs for my speedy 400, they will be semi-permanent so I need them to lay flat and not bow (wood), or break super easily if pulled in and out between engraving and cutting.

    Acrylic jigs I've made in the past lasted relatively well, but eventually they all chip and break. So that is a viable option, or I was also thinking masonite might be good.

    A couple questions:
    1) On acrylic would you recommend cast or extruded?
    2) What other materials would you consider for making long lasting removable jigs out of?
