Corian® for Kitchen Worktops

[st3v3]

Have a look at this. Very strong and the edges you see in the pic are what you get when you saw through it. Cuts with normal tools, but is hard on blades. It's heavy for It's thickness but will be a lot lighter than corian.

Personally I've cut it slightly oversized with an angle grinder with a segmented mesh blade and dont bother with a circular because the blades knacker really fast.

I've got a selection of stuff. We also have quite a few places around to buy bits and blades.

So, don't worry about it for now.

All of those picture show the sink mounted from above, which I actually quite like the look of The cut out definitely wants the corners rounded at least a bit to make it stronger.

Brilliant stuff Merl.

I used it only last week to rub out 2 scratches on my Daughter's T5 - you wouldn't know they had ever been there. Used it a lot on boats too.

Yeh that's Corian type material, it's actually pretty easy to cut, softer than both solid laminate and quartz.
The diamond bits will work but carbide are ok too.
Personally I'd only ever do cutouts that have rounded corners because a sharp internal corner gives a weak point that's likely to crack in future especially considering the twisting and vibration it'll be subjected to in a MH.
The effect downed several De Havilland Comets before they rounded off the corners of the windows.

As I have no cupboards to save weight ! the drip cutter stops the water running across the under neath worktop think of condensation running across a ceiling.

You could be right but I'm using / cutting corian for the first time. If wood accessories work all good ! The diamond was a option we have now passed on. I hope metal bits and blades will be a full back.
