How to Use PVC Edging Strips with a Machine Edger193

PVC edging strips are a great way to finish the edges of furniture, countertops, and other projects. They are durable, easy to clean, and come in a variety of colors and finishes. PVC edging strips can be applied using a hand-held router or a machine edger. In this article, we will discuss how to use PVC edging strips with a machine edger.

Materials* PVC edging strips
* Machine edger
* Edging adhesive
* Rag or sponge
* Utility knife

Instructions1. Prepare the edging strips. Cut the edging strips to the desired length. Apply edging adhesive to the back of the strips. Use a rag or sponge to spread the adhesive evenly over the entire surface.
2. Set up the machine edger. Adjust the machine edger to the desired cutting depth and width. Refer to your machine's manual for specific instructions.
3. Position the edging strip. Place the edging strip on the edge of the workpiece. Align the strip with the edge and press it down firmly. The adhesive will hold the strip in place while you edge it.
4. Edge the workpiece. Slowly feed the workpiece through the machine edger. The machine will cut the edging strip to the desired length and width.
5. Trim the excess edging. Use a utility knife to trim any excess edging strip that is hanging over the edge of the workpiece.
6. Clean up. Remove any excess adhesive from the workpiece and the machine edger.

Here are some additional tips for using PVC edging strips with a machine edger:* Use the correct cutting depth and width for your edging material. If the cutting depth is too shallow, the strip will not be properly cut. If the cutting width is too wide, the strip will be too loose and may come off.
* Apply the edging adhesive evenly to the entire surface of the strip. This will help to ensure a strong bond between the strip and the workpiece.
* Press the edging strip down firmly onto the workpiece before edging it. This will help to prevent the strip from moving around and creating uneven edges.
* Trim the excess edging strip carefully. If you trim too much, the strip may be too short and will not cover the entire edge of the workpiece.
* Clean up any excess adhesive from the workpiece and the machine edger immediately. Adhesive that is allowed to dry on the surfaces can be difficult to remove later.

By following these tips, you can use PVC edging strips to create beautiful and durable edges for your projects.
