Thanks guys you know how to make a guy feel welcome and not as daft lol

I was hoping to do a cutting area of 1500* 1500 just for some of the arcade plans I had, mainly for the height but could look to see if I could reduce the width.

In relation to depth I'm not sure what's normal as I would use 20mm MDF for example but then thinking some hard woods would be thicker so would 60mm be overkill ??

Thinking about budget I did work out £1500 as a ball park but could add a bit as I go if really needed ( before wife kills me for it )
