As usual, you listees are helpful.
It appears the router is the tool of choice.
I sort of figured that, I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing some great alterative.
I will now need to get me a router as all my power tools went I moved on board.
Thanks much
Richard

Richard,

Joe advice is right on. To amplify, get a tungsten carbide router bit.
Anything else is a waste of time. Wear a dust mask. You can purchase
straight pattern bits with bearings at the top. Then, using the
hot glue method, you affix a guide strip on top of the Corian and the
bearing will follow the guide strip. As Joe says, you may want to remove
only a 1/16" at a time.

A tablesaw can work for cutting Corian to dimension. Use a Triple Chip
Grind (TCG) carbide tipped blade with approximately 80 teeth on a 10" inch
blade. It cuts easily, just keep a constant feed rate and don't stop.

Good luck,

Ron Rogers

FWIW: I just purchased a router attachment for my Dremel tool for
about $25 CDN. If you already have a Dremel, this might be something
to try.

IMO, the ROTOZIP beats everything else for this type of job. As always no affiliation, just
happy with the product. Buy the kit that includes the cut-off attachment, its worth the
extra bucks.
