DWSUDEKUM Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 This is a Steve Good Pattern and it is about 14 inches tall. The corian I used was a sink cutout from a kitchen install. The corian is 1/2 inches thick. I used a #9 ultra Reverse blade to cut the pattern. DW heppnerguy and amazingkevin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton717 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 that looks pretty cool. I've turned corian but haven't cut any on the scroll saw. Any problems when cutting, did it heat up and stick back together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 that looks pretty cool. I've turned corian but haven't cut any on the scroll saw. Any problems when cutting, did it heat up and stick back together? It will tend to do that IF you use a small number blade. I used a #9 UltraReverse however a skip tooth generally will make a cleaner cut as the chips are able to get out of the kerf better.

DWSUDEKUM Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 It's a good cut DW as per Clayton I've only turned corian don't know where to find larger pieces. Roly I have found corian in a couple of places. A lot of time you can find scrap pieces - generally pieces smaller than a foot square generally - from places that install kitchens. I also have found a good amount on Ebay. DW Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ike Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I have never tried Corian, I herd it is a hazardous material. I now use a a mask that is for asbestos so it would probably be ok. IKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corian is a plastic and can give off a very fine talcum powder like dust as well as vapors that some folks are sensitive to when cut with a scroll saw. Wearing of a mask is and should be standard practice although a lot of us do not do so. Making sure that you have adequate ventilation is important as well. Cutting corian is really not more dangerous than cutting MDF or pressure treated lumber both of which are far more harmful to work with than corian. Corian is not difficult to work with it cuts easier than say oak. It sands easily and depending upon the finish you plan to use you can often stop sanding at around 400 grit. Corian will require buffing to bring up the shine of the plastic but that is easily done as well. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
