I use 5/4 eastern white pine for an outfeed table.

The friction coefficient of wood on wood is low enough that I am able to slide wood over wood. When the surface gets too beat up, I unscrew the wood and run it through the beater planer for a fresh look. Making the outfeed table a little lower then the saw table works.

Being wood, not plastic, I can reuse the top, and eventually it will be turned into heat in the house.
