Drill on the lathe for best accuracy.
Do a good turn daily!

with corian it's better IMO to glue two 1/2" x 3/4" pieces together with CA glue then rip it to a 3/4 x 3/4 (or there abouts) blank.

I have a pen vise (WC version) and I can carefully drill 1/2" corian with a 7mm bit for slimlines. Just make sure you are centered, relieve often, relieve it more often, and that the table/vise is perpendicular.
There is not much room to play with, but it can be done.
I have about given up on Corian ...I even tried buying some already drilled and that had some chipping at the exit hole too, which would have been ok but they didn't cut it too long so I had to chuck about half of it..Agreed. I started having problems with this setup and just had to reset/true my drill press table. I haven't had a problem since.
In Corian, all I have is 1/2" and I hate wasting product. So I made 1/2" work.
...also what is a good place for corian
