I need to cut out the strip of corian that is against the wall inorder to slide a freestanding stove in place. What method will allow me to cut up to the existing tile wall?

Do you mean cut the back splash?

Use the wood blade on this tool.

Just cut slow.

Ken,

I agree, indeed that was going to be my suggestion, as soon as James confirmed that he needs to cut the back splash. I pick up one of those a few months ago (not the Harbor Freight model) for a specific task. Since then I have found quite a number of uses for it. Used it a couple of days ago to cut a copper pipe that was up in a corner such that I couldn't get a tubing cutter on it.

As a test, prior to posting I used it to cut the end off a 1/2 piece of Corian about 3" wide. Took less than a minute, got pretty decent, straight cut. That was without a line to follow or any kind of guide. Great tool.

Hk:

Whose do you have? I have the original Fein. Really nice tool.

Hi KISS

Waiting for you response, I know this is your favorite tool.

I got the Bosh cordless. Fein too expensive for me. I got the cordless for the convenience, figuring that most of my uses would be little task like cutting out a piece of molding or cutting out a piece of T&G flooring for replacement. Used it a lot more than I thought I would. Even used it to cut out the a section of jamb between an entry door and a side light. Saved taking entire door and side light out to repair. Also used it to cut plaster for electrical boxes. Cut that piece of copper so fast I felt like I had cheated.

I now carry it around on my truck, just in case I need it.

That was my guess. I used it less this year. Had to by a new Dremel.

This was the solution I needed, thank you.

Suggestion, mark the line where you want to cut. Using hot glue, glue a short piece of 1/2 or 3/4 plywood along that line to act as a guide. That should give you a nice cut. Pop off the guide and scrap off any glue residue. Sand the end and round the front corner slightly.
