I did turn some and now I need to buy a new carbide bit - Corian broke it

Part of it was my fault (learning curve)

Lessons learned ;

Take the edges of before turning. A regular bench grinder works surprisingly well

Go fast on the turn speed and slow on the tool pressure.

Sharp sharp sharp cutting tool

Wear a FULL FACE shield, those chips are like getting a load of bird shot!

I made some reel seat inserts came out pretty good. The stuff polishes up nice. I can put up a pic if you'd like

Anyone out there got Corian glue?
