   A jointer outfeed table would be better, as it would be longer.  Many tablesaw tops aren't that flat, so check it with a straight edge first.

   I use granite.  You can get a long skinny scrap from any granite installation company for next to nothing, if not nothing.

   I have a long piece of 1/2 float glass, and use it on top of jointer infeed.

   That'll work, too, for sure.  I used to use glass, but I got tired of it sliding around.  Even when clamped, it would always seem to work it's way free on me.  The granite pieces I have are 1 1/4" thick, leftover from a kitchen job.  It's so heavy, it doesn't move at all.  The glass is great for taking to a job install (cabinets).  I can put some 3M paper on it, and touch up chisels and plane irons with it.  Sure is a lot easier to carry around than a hunk of granite.

   You may want to start with checking the #7 to see how "out of flat" it is!  Next you must decide what it is you want out of this plane and what size shavings you wish to take.  Use it before you try to flatten it.
