The Tuff brand of plywood, made by EMCO, does not have a pretty veneer but I'm very very sure it is THE best plywood in the country. The only problem is only a few very few vendors sell it because it is significantly costs more: P500 per sheet of 5 mm.

yup, and for 18mm the price is Php1,800.00 each... but 18mm is really 18mm...

From which distributor did you get it Timber? I heard the one in Paco does not stock it anymore. I got my last load all the way from Bulacan.

at 1,800 each, i think that was the price of my (semi not so good) phenolic ply.

I'd get one of those for future jigs. How many plies that it have?

the store from which I got it from still has about 20 to 40 pcs, if I estimated it right, the store name is S & L hardware and it is a bodega only.
Ben,
the 18mm plywood has 11 plys...
