corian counter top

Corian work very similar to wood, so as long as you use carbide-tipped blades you can cut it fine on the table saw. You can also route it just as easily. My wife turns Corian pieces into pens.

Cool, Thanks Greg

oakdust…that would be Triple Chip saw blades for a virtual chip free cut.. Alternate bevel grind will leave a rough edge but it depends on what you’re using it for.

For the ultimate cuts in Solid Surface a MTCG (Modified Triple Chip Grind) is the best.

Use a 1/2” straight router bit and a straight edge.

BTW, that peice was left there in case you ever needed a repair to your countertop (assuming you have corian countertops.).

Thanks guys. I cut it on the table saw and then trimmed it with a flush trim router bit. Worked great

If you have any left, make yourself a Insert for your tablesaw, they work great.

Also makes great runners for sleds etc. Keep it waxed and it runs lile water downhill.

-- I cut the damned thing twice and its still too short

Sled runners, that’s a great idea

My son is a PRO cabinet maker and works with it and Granite a lot. He put me on to it a couple of years ago.

Do the cabinet shops normally pitch the small pieces? I am gonna start hanging around the cabinet shops

I’ve got knife makers, pen turners, turners, interior designers, etc visiting my shop often, needless to say I have no scrapes so I would think you could go to a fabrication shop and they would give you their small pieces. Wouldn’t hurt to ask.

All good advise but be sure to turn on your dust collector and wear a mask. The dust is like talcum powder and goes everywhere.

I have used larger pieces (12X18) to make cutting boards. Routing a “blood” groove around the edge and putting rubber feet on the bottom. Made great Xmas gifts one year for Xmas.
It works for table saw inserts but if you have a thin strip across to top of the blade opening like my Delta saw has it tends to break there. I also drilled and threaded holes to install headless screws in for fine tuning the level so it is flush with the top of the saw table.
