If you don't have a lot to cut, a triple chip blade is not necessary. A cross cut blade with 40 to 60 teeth for a 10" blade will work well. I always recommend that you cut at 30 inches per...

With Keith's indulgence, I will try to explain each of the points you questioned.

The article you referenced is for plastics. Corian is not considered a plastic because it is about...

Keith,

Two things will keep the cupping down when doing machining in Corian.

First keep your feed rate down 30 to 60 ipm. This lessens the uneven heating from friction.

Start in the center...

You are right that this bit is for wax. The tapered ball end bit will be perfect and Corian will hold the detail better than MDF.

Just a word to the wise. Watch what you do with the logos you use. They are copyright protected. Disney protects theirs the strongest. The NFL is next and Colleges are next. If you are selling...

I do not know why you don't get this.

If Tom is buying from a DuPont distributor, he has a contract. The purpose of this contract is to protect the interests of DuPont for quality...

Ours was the first company allowed by DuPont to sell Corian outside of the system. We have sold Corian for 20 years for art and industrial use.

All of the fabricators, dealers and distributors...

If they catch him advertising that he will do this DuPont has no choice but to shut him off. Their contract with all fabricators protects them from gray market selling of Corian. They shut down the...

James and Zelma - Welcome.

The best advice I can give you, you already know. Listen to Keith.

All the best

There are two main aspects to dye sublimation:

The first is the ink itself. In the United States there is only one manufacturer regardless of the name. Their patent is still valid. Their inks...

For hanging 1/2" Corian signs from horizontal posts, I found stainless shackles to work well. The shackles have a straight pin that screws through a horse shoe shaped piece. This way you don't have...

May I ask what material the letters are made of?

I found the regulation in http://www.ada.gov/regs2010/2010ADAStandards/2010ADAstandards.htm

"Advisory 703.2 Raised Characters. Signs that are...

Before painting or even after, go over the surface with a Maroon Scotch-Brite on a random orbital. Also a heavy coat of clear coat after painting will help.

There is a cheat for the "frosting" on dark Corian. Spray the edge with Dupli-Color clear engine enamel. Poof - frosting gone.

Keith

I think that the tape, if it is 3M VHB will probably out last the rest of the installation. If the pipe is maintained and does not rust under the tape. There is the possibility that a...

Nice job as usual. I would suggest that you insert a Heli-Coil This will make your threads much more durable and less likely to strip.

Michael

Yes just support it every 20 to 24 inches That is sufficient. I have used my Corian top for 16 years with no sagging.

Keith,

Water will be messy. Have you thought of an air knife. It would run off your air compressor. There are many commercially available. I am sure that you could build one easily. Just make...

Just use Google.

This is what I found


I hope this helps

Amen, I agree completely.

You are right about HDPE polymer boards but Corian is not as sticky as those. But we sell hundreds of professional carving board stations with Corian every year. They rejected HDPE but prefer...

First Corian is no harder than hickory so it is not hard on knives. However wood kills bacteria and Corian does not.

Second on such a small glue surface I would pin.

Third CA when properly...

Never glue Corian to a substrate. just support it about every 24". My Corian work benches and router tops don't scratch.

Have fun

Ken

Several years ago we made some tops for DuPont. For ours there was no gluing involved. We drove a 1/4" diameter knurled aluminum knob through a slightly undersized whole in the 1/2" Corian disk. ...

First I will say that I don't know. I would check with the manufacturer of your ink.

That said, I would say that it is since it is used on coffee mugs.

I would not do this for the surface that...
