Blade to cut Corian - daveferg - 12-17-2016
Son in law has some Corian he needs cut. Would I be OK using an 80 tooth Freud Lam/plywood blade? Can't see spending $100 for their solid surface blade for this one job.
Thanks

May get ruined or at least need a sharpening after wards depending how much you need to cut. I am assuming it is carbide. Canyou try it on a test/sample piece?

My understanding is any carbide tip blade would be fine, that's what I have used, but only minimal experience.

I used a 100 tooth Maples b/c that's what I had. Chip free cuts. I bet there is a better choice but I was satisfied. This was a free scrap I used for a zero clearance insert.

A triple tooth grind blade 60 tooth
The Tips Are rounded are you using skill saw
a face shield and dust mask are a good idea

Good suggestion, TCG would be my choice. You can use your 80T laminate blade but it's probably a Hi ATB which cut clean on veneered plywood and melamine but dull faster. I don't think you have to worry about corian chipping so I would try another blade before wearing out your nice 80T blade.

Dave, you have PMs turned off, not sure if that is intentional or not. (toggle in user CP)
Just wanted to say hi.

Hi Dave
I use my 50 some tooth carbide blade to cut up what I get. I have a friend who finds some once in a while and if I cut it up he will give me some. So far my blade is still in good shape for even cutting hard and soft woods.
A few things to think about tho is not to use a thin kerf blade since I would think a thicker blade is more stable cutting it.
Also I used masking tape both top and bottom so there would be no chip out and it helps lube the blade cutting to.

Be aware that makes a mess - corian dust all over so wear proper PPE. Stinks too.

+1 on the stank.
I used a thin kerf with no problems fwiw.
