The issue here isn't what anyone's 'oppinion' is on the correct method.
theres the correct method and there isn't.
one of my posts was deleted while I was standing firm on the correct way of...
Bill,
Your method is just dandy, because you aren't describing an incorrect method of joining Corian to another material.
one of the issues with Corian, and why you weren't able to purchase it...
I like that three certified installers have told how to do it, yet there's still a debate.
No, that's NOT what rubber cement is for.
For anyone cruising the webs wondering how to hold your...
Thanks for the heads-up. I just got a 222" X 1-1/4" blade for $19.00.....
As was I. :)
I turn 50 this year. I've been a cabinetmaker/furniture maker for 30-ish years. I've taught woodworking/metals/CAD/CNC for the last 12+ years......so I've passed what I could to about 1200 people...
Ok, lots of well meaning, but bad advise here.
Dont use screws unless you'd like your Corian in multiple pieces. Guaranteed best way to break Corian is by trying to drive a screw into it.

A local manufacturer puts up a CL ad every once in a while when they have a huge supply of them. I think they get polyethylene beads in them and when they're empty they just take up space.
Early models (CB?) were prior to the Industrial model name. Without a serial number, another way to tell is the depth of the tables is 30" if I recall correctly, the current 'professional' offering...
My DC cyclone is a 'home brew' CL find that works well enough that I'm not actively looking to replace it until it dies. I have found that 55 gallon fiber barrels with lipped lids and band clamps...
Some things I've done:
rented a a forklift and drove it to the site to load on my trailer.
bought a pallet jack to move items through a building.
hired a rollback tow truck. ( I got it to the...
Exactly. The edge glued portion will expand at a different rate than the piece you want to glue to its end.
Even if you add joinery that allows for seasonal wood movement and it stays in one piece, the joint can't be glued all the way. What you end up with is a nice place for bacteria.
What you have...
I cannot live without a 6" steel rule in my pocket. I get them from Lee Valley. They have end graduations on them. I think they're $10-$12. Shinwa brand. A 6" rule is handy, but the end...
I like the changes you made. Having the infeed of many of your tools convenient to your bench will save a lot of miles of walking. I ended up staggering my jointer and planer so they aren't right...
I'll go ahead and comment on two issues:
First, I'm not a fan of router lifts. I've have them at work since they became commercially available and in all my years heavily using routers/router...
One of the biggest hazards for many people is the 'design' part of using CAD. I teach CAD (Solidworks) and while a parametric tool is a great road to take, it can actually stifle design. A blank...
A router lift is 'handy'. I don't have one. To be of the mindset that you need a router lift to make anything is a great excuse to drop a wad of cash. Feel free. Work the way you want to. I'll...
My very first shop was a shared space. I went and looked at a bulletin board at a large hardwood supplier that catered to custom furniture makers and saw several ads for shop space. I called them...
Adria? I wasn't aware Eddie was still making saws.
I used 1/2" BB once and it worked great. The biggest issue I have with using plywood of any kind as loose tenon stock is the ply thickness. I cut my mortises and size the tenon stock to fit as...
The steel might flex a bit from the weight, but most of the force is vertical so it won't be too much. I'd definitely wrap the steel with carpet or something.
Id have your fabricator weld in...

I got a set as a gift 16-18 years ago and they've been my go-to chisels since.
That's a nice saw. I'm sure some will say it's too much. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I've never owned any newer Unisaws myself, but I've used quite a few. No complaints. For comparison, I...
