The easiest way to drill karadon countertop?

[Texas Ted]

I own a 2005 Alpenlite with Karadon countertops. I have never drilled into anything like this before. If anyone out there has done it and has information I would appreciate it.

Looks like Corian, should work like Corian. Standard woodworking tools. Small holes = split point drill bit. Large holes = Carbide tipped hole saw (standard hole saw will cut it but will dull quickly)

ewcmr2,

Thanks for the info.

The drilling of the karadon countertop turned out just fine. I used a 3/4" Lenox hole saw for metal or wood, about $10. 00 at Lowe's. Then used a very sharp scribe to chip the top, drilled a small pilot about 1/8" deep and finished off with the hole saw. Let the drill do the cutting, use very little pressure. Result, perfect neat holes.
