you can use standard wood working tools
On the saw, I would use a triple-chip blade and feed slowly.

Brian,
I am familiar with the solid surface materials and will state that most woodworking tools will be suitable for Corian. You would get a much better edge using dedicated blades suitable for solid surfaces--much less tear out! Regular drill bits will work fine, just ease through the exit areas to avoid blowing the material out. Over tightening will crack it so be careful there. How it will stand up under a vise????

w`ouldnt trust it to clamp a
If you're using it as a vice base, make sure you use a thick enough piece... glue at least two 1/2" pieces together.
I also cut with a triple chip TS blade. 60 tooth. No issues. Router works well as well for shaping. I used the few pieces I obtained to build a ZCI for my Ridgid contractor saw with replaceable inserts. I needed a few more pieces to get the perfect one, but the last one I was able to make works fine. Jim.
A huge thank you to everyone who has posted
I had not thought through how it would stand up to a vice and have now decided on reflection not to use corian for the base
regards Brian
i cut it with my CNC router...no problems using standard carbide bits.
That's probably a good call. 3/4" ply would be a better choice.Quote:
