I don't recall if you have one, but the TS55/TS75 will be your best choice. If all you have is a jig saw, then you'll need to run a router down the edge to clean up the cut.

As Rick said... just wanted to add that you'll want to finish trim any cut with a router either way. Treat it like glass... no chips or square inside corners from which a crack could start.

I'm thinking the operative term in Audie's post was "free form."
So... just in case he has visions of Corian CURVES dancing in his head....

Right-o. The TS75 isn't my weapon of choice for wavy cuts...
I perhaps should have been more specific in the opening post: are there router bits or scroll saw blades more appropriate than others for working with Corian? I do like the "no abrupt inside corners" to thwart incipient cracks - thanks, Craig. |

Such blades are available for a scroll saw as well, but with a large slab it would be hard to guide it through the saw, IF it had a deep enough throat. .

You can sand the chips out... or you can cut your wavy on a pattern to later follow with the router (recommended). As long as there are no chips or saw marks for a crack to start. It's been a few years but I think the expansion rate for corian is 1/32" over a sq.ft... something like that. And the inside radius for a corner is 1". I'm a certified fabricator since back in the day.

That was my evil twin brother - on a coffeeless morning - who put in the term "scroll saw". If I'd had control of the keyboard, you would have read "saber saw".... ie, a "jig" saw. A hundred or so years ago, a shop teacher admonished us never to call a saber saw a jig saw; every now and again I remember that. Pity him if he heard me call it a scroll saw....
