Can anyone tell me what would be the best way to machine Corian?
I need to get some of this material and and make rows of .156" wide
slots(every .156"), and 1/4" long into it, which would give it a
"comb-like" appearance, and I was wondering what would be the best way
to do this.
Also, does anyone know if Corian can be purchased in more than one
thickness?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Can anyone give me a recommendation on the best saw for cutting *thin*
slots into Corian?
Thanks.

I ask that you use a dust mask, but use your own judgment.
Yes, DuPont, and other manufactures of nairoc do make the
product thinner. The problem is finding a source. DuPont makes it
point not to sell to homeworkshop types. They want everyone to
take the DuPont installation instructional class.
The name of the game is chip removal, as built up of dust and chips in the
cut will lead to re-melting of chips to surface; very bad and results in
lots
of sanding and filing. Others suggest using carbide tipped Router
bits, fresh ground drill bits so sharp tools is a must.
want to see some amazing corian projects:

patterns cut into small square of corian and filled with dyed acrylic glue.
They used small sandblast, but small router bit?

Same way as making a box joint. Does it matter what the bottom of the
slot looks like?

They may still make 3/4". Some colours are available in 1/4"
Almost all colours are 1/2"
