“Corian is mostly Acrylic/Acrylate-based resins, with fillers depending on what the ‘look’ is the designer was going for”
Machines similarly to hardwoods, a climb cut finishing pass may eliminate marks from chatter. For a high gloss, sand using micromesh and polish with Novus #2.
- Bit: 1/8" end mill
- Feed: 900 mm/min
- Speed: 20,000 r.p.m.
- Cut Depth: 0.5–1 mm
v60 .5 dia bit at 55 in/min and cut in .18 in deep at 19k router speed
0.0625" DOC, 1/4" end mill, and 60 IPM on a heavily modified SO2 ~7lb of cutting force[319]
Dust is fine and potentially dangerous, if cutting for extended periods of time, released / generated gases are a potential hazard.[320]

A horizontal roughing cut was done at 80IPM with a 0.25in, 0.060 corner radius end mill from lakeshore carbide (where I buy all my tools). The DNP611 was set to 3.5 on the speed controller. Stepover was 50% with a 0.055" step down, and stock remaining set to 0.02". Finishing was done at 120IPM with a 0.125in ball nose mill, 15% stepover. A leading edge curve following cleanup path was run with the same 1/8" ball mill and an 8% stepover.
