Today, I ordered 5 sheets of 8"x10" Corian material from Ebay, and am now about to be in the process of making a sled. I have 3/4" MDF in my shop, and will cut a piece in the size of 18"x12". I am going to pick up some 1/4" hardboard, or the same sized plywood, to cut two 12"x4" pieces (header and footer), as well as two 10"x1" pieces for the rails. That should, effectively, give me the 8"x10" recessed area which would be need for my Corian sheet. My sled will, then, be 1" thick. With that being the case, do I tell my machine that the board thickness is THAT thick? Or do I set the thickness at .25 inch? Also, am I setting it to stay under the rollers, or no? I know that I have read over material which covered that, but cannot seem to recall, at this point, what I read. I will search for it, but hope that someone can chime in - not that I am so close to being able to getting something done. I may be able to receive an answer, here, before finding success in locating the information, myself.

I'm just anxious .
