Hi all, yep i'm still alive,
i got a bug in my ear about making carving knife handles out of corian...
i have tried to rid myself of this idea but it keeps on bugging me.
I am suppose to have a box of corian scraps being sent from my sisters cabinet shop.
but my concern is, what scrollsaw blades would you use to cut this stuff... no body at my sisters shop remembers how its an old shop taken over by 2 sons after the father retired,
the sons make solid surface counter tops from resin and granite dust or fit kitchens with natural stone. I know a diamond wet saw will cut nearly anything so i can get it cut and shaped if i rent a wet saw. but i thought i heard on this form of someone working with corian and having good results...
what i need is to cut corian into a elongated bent teardrop shape 5/8 inch wide widen it to 3/4ths to one inch and then taper again to 1/2 " all in 6 or less inches
then drill a 3/8 hole 3 inches into the end to attach the blade....
is this stuff bad about flaking, fracturing or fragmenting if it gets hot?
or is it basically like plastic?
is there a better blade to use in a scrollsaw i have several spiral blades and some polar fd blades left.
any help from someone experienced would be a great help...
