Got some 1/2" corian today from a guy down state in 12x13 sheets. Wanted to try my planner on them before I sent them off to a forum member to try and cut in half with his band saw. It went threw the corian like butter and then truned out really smooth. For the price I paid for it, its almost cheaper to waste the material then pay for shipping there.
Here the first litho I carved for my wife. She loves hummingbird and has had the picture stored for a while. I either didn't carve deep enough (.150), the corian wasn't transparent enough or I didn't make the negative dark enough. I got a .150 deep edge but the deepest part of the bird isn't more then .80-.100 deep. The highest part (darker part) is almost surface level high.
This is infront of a 100 watt flood I use on my coin deck light. Way to many watts for putting in a box. I would be burning the house down or melting the corian. Any suggestion? Other then that we love the detail this machine carves. This was using a brand new 1/16" ball cutter I just bought.
