    Question Can I Use a Solid Core Door as a Router Table

    I pulled a brand new solid core door out of the dumpster awhile back. Someone had cut it into 2 pieces, not really in half so I have a good sized part. I would like to use it for a Router Table if possible.

    Where it has been cut it looks like there is a 1/2" solid wood wrap around the entire outer edge. The interior of the door looks like Particle board and looks pretty dense.

    Can I use a Dado blade and cut it for a Miter track?

    Can I cut it to install a Router plate? I would need to able to Rabbit an edge for the plate to sit on. I have been looking at the Woodpecker Cast Aluminum Router Plate

    Is it hard on blades, I do not want to ruin my good Dado Blades?

    Overall would it work out? Thanks!
