    retrofit wood router for corian

    Hello I'm new to the site and have a question about getting a cnc router
    to cool with water. i'm a cabinet builder with some interest in using older
    cnc for cutting solid surface wet. ive searched for threads in this forum
    and seems it can be done but almost no one recommends it just want to know if anyone has seen it done and possible information.

    thanks mike

    WHy would you want to cut it wet? It cuts just fine dry.

    A simple dust collector will keep the dust down. Can you cut Zodiaq with a router?
