Hey Cody;
I've used trupan in the past but only because I designed a vacuum table for my homebuilt. I finally quit using it due to the lack of a decent vacuum system. Unless you have special needs, MDF would be the way to go. Heck, that is what everyone uses and if memory serves, it's half the cost.!
Sorry, can't remember where I got the trupan. Maybe fleabay?
Good luck and happy cutting!
Bill
