Tips need for working w/ Corian or LG Hi-Macs.

Tectonic

Can anyone please help me with advice in regards to working with Corian and/or LG Hi-Macs? I'm interested in cutting methods and joining methods. Also, and this would be a plus, if there is anyone in LA that can tell me about a place that can fabricate and/or thermoform to my specs. Thank you.

I guess it depends what you're looking to do with it, but all corian fabricators are to be trained by dupont.

you cut and machine corian with wood working tools. joining is with their special recipe of chemicals. Nothing serious. I've worked with it in the past.

You also have to be a trained fabricator for LG Hi-Macs, it so a happens I can buy the stuff. Anyhow, so I just need wood cuting tools. What about beveling, same deal?
