A friend of mine who just retired from the fire department has ask me to make a litho pane of fire department logo. Although, I have not done carving on corian, I told him I would try. After reading as many posts I can, I still have some confusion. In no way do I disrespect the methods or opinions of those more EXPERINCED then me. My material is ½” corian. I’ve read most carvings are one with ¼”, but some have been successful with the ½”.
My first question is can corian be planed to the ¼” thickness?
If planing is not an option, it appears in the designer software, carve region will cut to the ¼” thickness, but all in one pass. I think that’s to much strain on the machine. Can carve region be set to multiple passes?
Then when I inserted the logo. It's not engraved, but carved as a raised carving. What did I miss?
The plan is to mount in a 5” x 7” light box.
Because corian is harder then wood, is there a material setting that would slow the feed rate in carving? I plan on using the optimum carve setting.I tried to attach a thumbnail, but it would not.
