After scouring this forum, I am about ready to jump into building a 4'x8' (work area) router table.
Has anyone considered microlam beam for the table and possibly the gantry? It seams like a suitable material for a 9'x 55" table. Fairly in expensive, stiff, better resonate frequency?
Thanks in advance,

Okay, I'll see how accurate the microlam supplier can cut to length. I like the look of it.
Sides are 11 7/8", with legs 9 1/2". Gantry side uses 14" wide sections and a 9 1/2" cross piece.
A gear rack will be mounted on the bottom of a long brace centered lengthwise on the table
Here's a rendering.

Microlam not stable, will warp - better to use cabinet ply or MDF.
