Post: RE: cutting plywood
I have a 4' × 8' table. When I need to break down plywood, I put a piece of Styrofoam insulation on top of it and use my track saw. If the insulation gets too cut up on one side, I'll flip it over.

Steps Mo Deck gets really good reviews. I have used a slip plate graphite spray paint. You can usually find it in farm supply stores. They use it in grain wagons etc.
