I dont think with normal woodworking tools it is feaseable, but Im no expert.I have turned it on a lathe, and scrolled it before, but I cant imagine resawing it on my bandsaw. I think the heat generated would melt it back together, or heat up your blade so much it would wander all over , ruining your piece. And after it would be resawed, it will need cleaning up (planing).Recently there was discussion on running corian through a planer, and I dont think anyone that responded thought it was a good idea.I know I wont try planing corian, not with my planer anyways.

resawing Corian
Hi Lonepine
I resawed some Corian on my bandsaw and it did not turn out to bad at all. I use the biggest blade I had to resaw it. I was resawing it to make my own switch plates for my woodshop that I,am finishing right now. The plates turned out really nice. Good luck

I don't know if you know it or not, but there are special blades to use when cutting Corian. As long as you have been scrolling, I,am sure you are aware of this. Sometime I will put a pic of one of my plates on my site. I just sent a single duplex plate with the Orange County Choppers logo cut out on top to OCC to see if they would like to sell them in their store. The plate was made of 1/4 inch maple.

Corian
I came across a web site a few weeks ago that offered a pamphlet on working with corian. The little pamphlet is produced by Dupont and provides tips on cutting, turning, drilling, gluing and finishing corian. Even has a little section on thermoforming. The distributer is Art Specialties International inc. If anyone is interested I will try to find the site again. They will mail you the pamphlet free of charge.If it don't fit, don't force it....get a bigger hammer!!

Reply to Shawl pinsby KarlBThat's what I was wondering Betty: If these would work (larger) for hair?

by will8989The perfect solution when I need a wider top on my Hegner. A magnetic sheet! I decided not to get the Pegas as the only reason was for the wider top and the top feed blade. After 19 years, my Hegner is still running like new and I couldn’t justify the expense. It was a “want” and not a “need”....

Reply to Shawl pinsby will8989Good idea Scott. Also, my daughter has long, curly hair. She twists it up and around and sticks a pencil in to hold it. I also stick a dowel in my hair when working and my hair gets in my way and I twist it up. The one in this picture would perfect for thick hair.
