I am just learning how to work with Corian countertops and I would like to know exactly what I should be doing since I don't have much room for error.

Corian Work Just Like Wood, Same Tools Are Used. If Your Making Joints Then A Skill Saw Can Be Used But You Need Clamps And A Straight Edge
As Far As Making Joints I Know They Use A Special Glue And Clamps To Bond The Edges, And I Dont Know What That Is Exactly.
If Your Not Doing That And Say You Have A Scrap Your Messing With Run In The Table Saw If Possible, You Can Also Route It With Regular Wood Carbide Bits. Good Luck

Glavine is correct that woodworking tools are used with Corian. However, carbide blades and cutters should always be used. Get training before trying any complex Corian fabrication. You can learn a lot on my website:

What is the best way to cut corian countertops?

Your question isn't specific enough, bobbybob23. The best way to cut a Corian countertop in a residential kitchen would be different from the best way to cut it in a small custom fabrication shop. And that would be different from the best way to cut it in a large automated production shop. Are you a do-it-yourselfer or a pro? Are you making a straight cut, or a cutout for a sink or a cooktop. Cooktop cutouts have very exacting requirements. Ask a more detailed question and you will get a much better answer.
