You can use the same tools to cut the corian that you use to cut wood. It just dulls the tools faster......
Good luck!!

It drills fairly easily. I have had some segmented blanks crack on me while drilling. Now I drench them with CA and then wrap with duck tape. I also pour water into the hole while drilling to keep it from over heating.
It is one of the hardest materials to turn. Trustone is about the only thing harder that I can think of. A very sharp tool is important to get nice curls while turning. I find it dulls a tool very fast and I need to resharpen several times with each blank.

I turn corian the exact same as acrylics, same with drilling spraying water into the hole after each removal of drill bit to clear debris!

I love Corian and also as Ligget said I do everything the same as I wood when doing my acrylics. The only thing is for drilling go slow and keep heat down.
