ORDER DIRECT FROM "MR. SOLID SURFACE": SPECIALIZED SCROLL SAW BLADES FOR CUTTING CORIAN® AND HARDWOODS!

In order to achieve the smoothest cut possible, the special Corian imported skip tooth blades are recommended. All blades listed below are 5" in length and are flat ended only. The blades listed below are $4.95.

Step 19. Once the material is rounded, use a 1/2" skew chisel to give your pen some shape.

Step 20. Once the pen is shaped, the sanding begins. Use 2" x 2" cushioned aluminum oxide pads that are specially designed for solid surface and acrylic material. Start by dry sanding with the 300 or 600 aluminum oxide pads depending on how deep your scratches are from turning, then go to 800 and 1500 dry. Make sure to wipe the dust off your pen between each grit. If you do not clean the dust off each time you sand, you will put scratches back into your work.

When you proceed to the 2400 grit level, use this pad wet. Just put a few drops of water on the pad and then let the lathe do all the work. Place a towel on top of the lathe bed so you do not get any water onto the lathe. Proceed to the 4000 and 12000 grit pads using a few drops of water on each pad. After this, your project will be very shiny; however, if you choose to buff it with some wax or HUT polish, do so at this time. It will then be ready for assembly.
