I got my hands on some 1/2" Corian that I plan on turning into a router
table. The piece is around 2.5 feet wide by 5 feet long. Here's what I'm planning to do: Cut two pieces of around 24" x 20" Cut 3/4" MDF to same size. Route a 9" x 12" space out of the middle of all pieces for the insert Mount the first Corian piece to the MDF with some kind of glue, and use machine bolts counter sunk into the Corian through the MDF with are then tightened with countersunk nuts on the bottom of the MDF. Clamp and wait for glue to dry Glue second piece of Corian atop the first piece with some kind of glue, giving me 1" of Corian plus the MDF for the total thickness of 1 3/4". Clamp and wait for glue to dry Trim edges in oak or other type wood and glue into place. Route out slots for aluminum t track for mitre and fence slots. Epoxy track into slots Will this yield me a flat, solid, and long lasting surface? I'm open to all suggestions and critiques, so please share what you've got! I'm especially interested in learning about what kind of adhesive will yield the best results for gluing Corian to the MDF and to the other Corian. I checked the "This to That" site, but I don't know what category Corian falls under. :-) Thanks! -Nathan |
