Need to replace the fence halves on my PM shaper. Considering using some 1" thick HDPE plastic instead of MDF or a typical hardwood. My question is if the plastic will be "stiff" enough so as to not flex in the unsupported end sections. Unlike a router table fence that supports the face material along its entire length. A typical shaper fence only supports about 3/4 of the face length. Hopefully my question is clear enough to understand. Thanks jsawduste
