I doubt that would be stiff enough to use as a table surface by it's self. A material commonly used on large commercial routers is 3/4 or 1 inch thick phenolic sheets. But that stuff can get expensive. For building a vacuum table I have had good luck with using a 2"x6" 0.25" thick wall aluminum extrusion, then sticking a 1/4" thick Sintra (or similar PVC foam board) to the surface of that (we used a good double sided tape) and milling the surface flat and milling the vacuum pattern into that.
