Granite Router Table Top

You'd lose a lot of accuracy with an extender. Steel City is offering table saws with granite tops. I've got a request in for a bit more information than the web site or press releases include, but it sounds interesting: I've been fighting rust, usually successfully, on table saw tops since I was 15, and I wouldn't mind a break, but I'm worried about fragility...my guess is, though, that if it makes it to your shop in one piece, and you get it set up, fragility is no longer a worry. And you have another place to rest coffee mugs.

Just don't peen over any rivets on it.

Steel City has been marketing table saws with granite tops, using the same logic as yours.

You'd have to account for some way(s) to attach fixtures (featherboards, etc.)

What about using corian?
