1/8 inch.

Cut with a jig saw bearing a brand new blade. I cut it a little more than an 1/8 of an inch larger than the table to avoid splintered edges but the cut turned out very smooth. There was a lot of sanding involved but I have an old electric sander.

It was a very clean looking well glued piece of ply. There is a lumber yard that specializes in hardwood plywood close to the house. The prices and quality are way better than I've seen other places. Really wish I'd used oak now.

Did you also use a strip to resurface the edge? I might do the same thing to a dining room table I have.

It was good wood under the laminate, I just sanded the new top to the size of the old one and sanded a little further to get to clean wood.
