How to Feed Edge Banding for Hand Held Machines92

As a professional manufacturer of edge banding in China, we produce high-quality edge banding for our customers worldwide. However, we also understand that for some customers, they may choose to use hand held machines to apply edge banding to their projects. Therefore, we would like to provide a guide on how to feed edge banding for hand held machines.

1. Prepare the Edge Banding and Hand Held Machine

Before you begin, make sure you have the following items ready:* Edge banding material
* Hand held edge banding machine
* Utility knife
* Sandpaper or sanding sponge
* Iron or heat gun
* Gloves

2. Cut the Edge Banding to the Desired Length

Measure the length of the edge that you need to cover and cut the edge banding to the appropriate length. It is always better to cut the edge banding slightly longer than needed, as you can always trim it down later.

3. Apply Adhesive to the Edge of the Substrate

Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the edge of the substrate. You can use a brush or a glue roller to apply the adhesive evenly.

4. Feed the Edge Banding into the Hand Held Machine

Turn on the hand held machine and adjust the temperature and speed settings according to the manufacturer's instructions. Insert the edge banding into the machine, making sure that the adhesive side is facing down.

5. Guide the Edge Banding onto the Substrate

Hold the hand held machine at a 45-degree angle to the substrate and guide the edge banding onto the substrate. Apply consistent pressure to the edge banding to ensure that it adheres properly.

6. Trim the Excess Edge Banding

Once the edge banding has been applied, use a sharp utility knife to trim off any excess material. Be careful not to cut into the substrate.

7. Sand the Edge Banding

Use sandpaper or a sanding sponge to sand the edge banding flush with the surface of the substrate. This will help to create a smooth and professional-looking finish.

8. Heat the Edge Banding

For a more durable bond, you can apply heat to the edge banding using an iron or heat gun. This will help to fuse the adhesive and create a stronger bond.

9. Wear Gloves

Always wear gloves when working with edge banding, as the adhesive can be hot and cause skin irritation.

Tips* Use a high-quality edge banding material for best results.
* Make sure that the substrate is clean and dry before applying the edge banding.
* Apply consistent pressure to the edge banding as you guide it onto the substrate.
* Trim the excess edge banding carefully to avoid damaging the substrate.
* Sand the edge banding flush with the surface of the substrate to create a smooth finish.
* Heat the edge banding for a more durable bond.
* Wear gloves to protect your skin from the adhesive.
