Well, a neighbor just had some Corian countertops put in, and of course I ran over and got some of the offcuts.

Now I have a lot of "small-ish" pieces of a very hard, very smooth acrylic polymer, that's workable with carbide tools.

Has anyone used Corian as a material for slides, or other parts of a CNC machine? It seems to have a number of desirable qualities, but I'm not sure if it's dimensionally stable...or how it would hold up under repeated abrasion.

Any first hand experience?
