Wine & Snack plate
This seems to be a popular subject. I didn’t want to hijack someone else’s post, so here is my version.
Cut out of Corian. I have had quite a few orders for these plates. I sell it in sets of 6.
I am very fortunate in the sense that I have more Corian than I can use in a lifetime, that is why I cut these plates in Corian only. A friend of mine have a business that install Corian products, he calls me on a regular basis to come and collect as many Corian off-cuts as I would like …. Free of charge.

I use a 25 mm (1 inch) straight bit for the large pocket (8mm deep) and a 6 mm (1/4 inch) ball nose with a 1.5mm offset for the large pocket, also the 6mm ball nose for the thumb and glass pockets. Cutout 6 mm upcut end mill.

Excellent. Thank you for the info on the bits. Your Corian trays have such a nice, smooth finish. Very professional work!

Re: Wine & Snack plate
I do very similar snack plates, mostly from hardwoods. I usually have a carving in the plate and didn’t care for the look in Corian. Plus I don’t have a free supply! Your plates really look great.

Re: Wine & Snack plate
O!!! WOW!!! Yours look like designer plates! That is beautiful!!
Mine is just the common garden variety type. It takes me 45 minutes to cut a set of 6 plates. I imagine yours take a little longer.
Here is a sneak peek of my “treasure” some pieces are almost full sheets.

Re: Wine & Snack plate
Thanks for the compliment! I sell these through a local artist co-op, usually sets of 4 personalized like the ones in the picture. I try to keep the model simple but they can easily take 30 minutes or so each but I keep busy on other items while they cut. Certainly couldn’t make a living doing this kind of thing. When I tried to make some from Corian so they could go in the dishwasher, I just didn’t think the carving and lettering showed up well. I did a couple with an epoxy inlay but too much work! Thanks again.

Re: Wine & Snack plate
Beautiful work. I was going to add any counter top place that does Corian should have lots of "Free" or low cost sink cutouts. The people that did our new ones are like 6 blocks away
