    Corian Counter
    What tool would you use to cut Corian?
    I have a piece from an old kitchen counter that I want to cut into a 20"x20" cutting board. It is about 3/4" thick and the longest cut I have to make is about 24".

    Thanks

    Haven't done this myself, so look for others to confirm, but I think my cousin uses a carbide blade if all he needs is a quick cut and he doesn't have a diamond grit blade. For bigger projects I think he uses the diamond blade.

    If you have router you might be able to cut with a quality carbide as well to get the edge you want.

    Again, wait for others to confirm this before trying.
