DuPont™ Corian® is a material which combines the durability of stone with the
workability of hardwood. It is impossible to cover all fabrication techniques in this book,
but the following sections describe the most important elements.
CUTTING
DuPont™ Corian® is harder than wood. In order to cut a full sheet to obtain the desired
pieces, saws and routers must be powerful enough to work the material properly.
Straight cuts are made with a circular saw with carbide-tipped or diamond-tipped teeth.
Curved cuts are made with manual routers or with numerically controlled routers (CNC),
depending on the number of identical pieces that need to be cut. Rounded inside corners
are routed in order to prevent crackin
