I am (very slowly and deliberately) building a new router table from corian.It is reasonable to rout a Tslot into the corian, rather than putting in an aluminum track?Perhaps the corian is too tough to rout like that, or maybe it is not strong enough to work properly.The router bits are $35, so it is not something I can experiment with.

If the bit is THAT pricy, why not just epoxy the T-track into the corian?Davetoller wrote:

We have one at work. Not the Lee Valley but simular. It is LOUD. In anycase, why would someone intentionaly buy a router table with a warp? Thereexplanation is BS.

Not unless you want to deal with a material that catches fire in air at room temperature. Its OK in large blocks but if you get slivers of it it catches fire.

Oh and you have all the usual heavy metal poisoning issues plus residual radioactivity.

Now a nice lump of iron on the other hand...
