How to Cut Edge Banding in 6 Steps169

Edge banding is a thin strip of material that is applied to the edges of plywood, particleboard, or MDF to give it a finished look and protect it from moisture and wear. Edge banding can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, and metal, and comes in a variety of colors and finishes. Cutting edge banding can be done with a variety of tools, but the most common method is to use a table saw.

To cut edge banding with a table saw, you will need the following materials:* Edge banding
* Table saw
* Measuring tape or ruler
* Pencil
* Safety glasses
* Dust mask

Once you have gathered your materials, you can begin cutting the edge banding. Here are the steps:Step 1: Measure and mark the edge banding.
Use a measuring tape or ruler to measure the length of the edge that you need to cover. Add 1 inch to the length to allow for overhang. Mark the length on the edge banding with a pencil.
Step 2: Set up the table saw.
Raise the blade of the table saw to the height of the edge banding. Tilt the blade to a 45-degree angle.
Step 3: Position the edge banding on the table saw.
Place the edge banding on the table saw table with the marked end facing the blade. Align the edge of the edge banding with the edge of the table saw table.
Step 4: Cut the edge banding.
Turn on the table saw and slowly feed the edge banding into the blade. Cut the edge banding to the length that you marked in step 1.
Step 5: Sand the edge banding.
Use a piece of sandpaper to sand the cut edge of the edge banding smooth.
Step 6: Apply the edge banding to the edge.
Apply a thin layer of wood glue to the edge of the plywood, particleboard, or MDF. Press the edge banding onto the edge and hold it in place for a few minutes until the glue dries.

Once the glue is dry, the edge banding will be securely attached to the edge. You can now trim the overhang and sand the edge banding flush with the surface of the wood.

Here are some additional tips for cutting edge banding:* Use a sharp blade to get a clean cut.
* Cut the edge banding slightly oversized and then trim it to fit.
* Be careful not to cut yourself when using the table saw.
* Wear safety glasses and a dust mask when cutting edge banding.
