Thanks for the reply regardless of timing.
I already glued in my inserts with Gorilla Gel Glue.
I really like your idea about the Corian Platters. I would want to also have something that was the same diameter as the Lenco Platter.

You are welcome to my designs if you want them. I bought a Corian offcut for €20 and had them machined locally.

Here's the power module I'm using: plug+fuse+switch. I'd appreciate any pointers anyone has on how to wire it up correctly  How have you got on with having just this switch at the back of the TT? You're not wishing you had a switch on top front of the TT also? |

I have found the switch pretty comfortable with the turntable installed in a variety of heights and positions. YMMV of course.

FWIW, I've also directly tapped thick Corian with a HSS tap. Pre-drill hole size should be on the side of 80%+ threads (smaller pre-drill hole). Provided the Corian material is thick and the torque requirements of the part being fastened is low, it actually works quite well. Tonearm mount fasteners for example.
Of course, I've used the threaded inserts, in brass and steel. I use epoxy for seating these as well. My grumble is, how large to drill the pre-drill hole for the insert itself. You need enough Corian for the insert to bite into, but not so much that screwing or installing the insert causes the Corian to "blow out" material around the insert. Taps happen to manage that with a little less likeliness of blow out, and possibility of that breakage being seen around the item you're fastening.
Peter has a ton of experience here, he may be able to add more opinion. But thought I'd mention it.

mine are essentially potted in epoxy. that is, the inserts don't bite into the Corian at all, they just barely touch.
