The expanded metal works alright for a cutting surface, I picked it up at the home depot. The expanded metal that I have always seen looks like it has sort of "steps" if you view it from the side. This metal is right flat. But the laser marks 1/4 inch MDF on the back side if cutting completely through.
I have never seen the aluminum honeycomb material up close, I was worried about it not being able to support a heavy work piece.
