Weight is certainly an important issue if the track is going to be moved, but personally I would still recommend and an MDF top rather than ply, as ply will splinter, whereas MDF cuts more smoothly. You can get MDF in 6mm, 9mm or 12mm, but whatever you use, even with a softwood frame it's still going to be heavy.
To be honest though, I could never recommend mucking about with power tool blades in any way. Hub may have done it, and his tracks are obviously fantastic, but there are safety issues if you start to use anything other than the recommended blades, or bits, and home made or modified pieces are a big NO from me. I've seen too many nasty accidents back in the days when I was a furniture designer/maker, so I think you need to be very careful. Please use power tools as they were intended to be used.
