MDF is rather heavy, is it not? I believe the only thickness is about 3/4in which becomes rather heavy. It would be advantageous if you had a planing machine which might be able to basically thin the 3/4in ply to maybe 1/2in (reducing wood weight by 33%, correct?) and the wood will still be very smooth.
