Milling tools for HI-MACS and Corian

Looking to achieve a flawless finish on your Corian or HI-MACS project? Whether you're crafting a sleek countertop, a custom sink, or a one-of-a-kind interior design, precision milling is key to professional results. With the right tools and techniques, you can take full advantage of the unique properties of these premium solid surface materials.

We offer a wide range of milling cutters specifically designed for processing Corian, HI-MACS, and other solid surface materials using either handheld routers or CNC milling machines. These tools are also perfect for working with mineral-based surfaces such as Staron, Avonite, Hanex, Varicor, and Domovari. Thanks to their special carbide composition, our milling tools allow you to shape and cut solid surface panels with accuracy and efficiency.

What Are Corian and HI-MACS?

Corian (by DuPont) and HI-MACS (by LG Hausys) are leading brands of solid surface materials widely used in kitchens, bathrooms, and interior design. These materials are durable, versatile, and can be formed into countless custom designs. Made from a blend of acrylic resin and natural minerals, solid surface materials are non-porous, hygienic, thermoformable, and visually seamless—perfect for creative, high-end applications.

While often referred to by brand names like Corian, HI-MACS, or Kerrock, these materials fall under the broader category of "solid surface." Their specific characteristics require equally specialized tools. That’s why the milling cutters you’ll find on this page are developed specifically for solid surface machining.

Milling Corian and HI-MACS with a spiral cutter

Milling Corian and HI-MACS is typically done with a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine, although smaller projects can be handled with handheld routers using the proper bit. CNC machines offer the precision and repeatability needed for larger productions, detailed cut-outs, or complex shapes.

Choosing the right cutter is crucial. While standard HSS (High-Speed Steel) bits may suffice, we highly recommend using diamond-tipped cutters for longer tool life and superior edge quality. These offer enhanced wear resistance, which is essential when working with dense, solid surface materials.

Proper speed settings are also critical. Milling at too high a speed may cause overheating, leading to material warping, discoloration, or even damage. A slower, controlled feed is usually ideal to keep temperatures down and preserve both your material and your tool.
