I've been working on a couple of gifts (pendants) for my wife and daughter and thought I'd share. They're made from Corian and this stuff is really fun to work with and it has that nice vintage glow like ivory. For scale, the jump ring hole is .062.

For my daughter, the guitar pick. She's not a guitar player but a rocker at heart for sure.



For my wife, the oval pendant and it's the #27 intertwined and mirrored with a some engravings all around the edge. The #27 is just a little "inside" thing she and I share together.




Thanks for looking-
Dave

AWESOME Dave,
really nice, the detail is great,
I thought the 27s were a Claddah at first

Those are quite pretty, Dave. They look nice and smooth, and almost have the appearance that they are warm. Very nice!

Thanks, fellas and yes, Dean, they feel very "organic" as well

Dave

Very Cool Dave....... Where did you get Corian?

Ebay - in small sheets (.227 X 5" X 7").

Wish I had a local guy I knew that I could buy it from as I have to redo my bathroom and would love to do the whole shower area in this stuff. It's really ashame you can't get it from Lowes or something like that.......

Dave

Yea..That would be neat......I have not seen it anywhere and actually forgot about the Stuff till I seen this Post......I will do some searching on Ebay,,,Thanks Buddy

dave what speeds and feeds do you use with this
material, what is its harness equivalent to? What size
cutters and rpm's did you use for these?

Thanks

Bryan

I used VCarve Pro for drawing and pathing. To cut, I used 2 different cutters (90 degr. engraving Vbit and .062 endmill) and 3 different path setups. Spindle speed was 6300RPM and 10 IPM's. I'm still fairly new at using corian so I'm sure the feedrate might be able to be increased but it wasn't burning the material or my cutters so success was easily felt

Hardness is a good question, kind of like a "chalky" Delrin/Acetal would probably describe it best.

Thanks
Dave

Thanks for the info Dave, I actually have some
sheets 5"x7"x1/4 on their way so it is just the info
I needed,

I work with lots of corian
racks full of the stuff. It also makes awesome lithophanes ..

This is actually one of the reasons I bought some corian, to try out a lithophane.

I just thought maybe we were turning into that stupid twitter website where we tell what we're doing every second of the day.

Dave
