    You should use a https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/plumbi...13171-new.html

    Which will require you to fill the old hole first. I usually plug the old hole with a proper sized dowel and then soak with water for a few minutes. This will allow you to re-establish a place for the pilot drill to get cenetred. Treat Corian like hard wood, tools are pretty much the same.
