Candlestone Source
So the only source for the Candlestone material that I can find is eBay and the vender seems to be "out of the office". There is not another source and I have googled nothing found. I finally ordered some 1/4 inch 6mm white Corian to try.

Re: Candlestone Source
Thank you, Got it ordered, funny same company that was on eBay. So why do they leave the eBay ad up if they are not selling?

Re: Candlestone Source
Good morning. I have never used candlestone. The website makes it look interesting. Would a regular v-bit be used or is a special bit required?
Thank you
Barry

Re: Candlestone Source
Well having never done one yet, can not say for sure. But I plan on using a .125 or 3mm ball end mill or smaller if I can find. But the v bit would also be an option. I have Candlestone and Corian thin stuff ordered.Barry Anderson wrote:Good morning. I have never used candlestone. The website makes it look interesting.

Re: Candlestone Source
The owner of Candlestone Gifts, claimed the material cuts much nicer than other solid surfaces. I've cut every brand of solid surface, and there's not a significant difference. They all cut and engrave about the same, none better than others, or worse either.
Just my experience. YMMV.
