How to Cut Edge Banding160

Edge banding is a thin strip of material that is applied to the edges of a wood or composite panel to cover the exposed core and provide a finished appearance. It can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, or metal. Edge banding is typically applied using an adhesive, and it can be cut to size using a variety of tools, including a utility knife, a miter saw, or a table saw.

Tools and Materials* Edge banding
* Adhesive
* Utility knife or sharp scissors
* Miter saw or table saw (optional)
* Measuring tape or ruler
* Pencil or marking tool

Instructions1. Measure and mark the length of edge banding you need to cut.
2. If you are using a utility knife, score the edge banding along the marked line using a sharp blade. Be careful not to cut all the way through the material.
3. If you are using a miter saw or table saw, set the blade to the desired angle and cut the edge banding along the marked line.
4. Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of the edge banding.
5. Press the edge banding into place on the edge of the wood or composite panel, and hold it firmly until the adhesive has set.
6. Trim any excess edge banding using a utility knife or sharp scissors.

Tips* Use a sharp blade to score the edge banding, as a dull blade will tear the material.
* If you are using a miter saw or table saw, be sure to clamp the edge banding securely in place before cutting.
* Apply the adhesive evenly to the back of the edge banding, and avoid getting any on the exposed surface.
* Press the edge banding into place firmly, and hold it until the adhesive has set.
* Trim any excess edge banding carefully, as it can be easy to cut too much off.

Troubleshooting* The edge banding is not sticking to the wood or composite panel. The adhesive may not have been applied evenly, or the pressure may not have been applied long enough. Try reapplying the adhesive and pressing the edge banding into place more firmly.
* The edge banding is peeling off. The adhesive may not have been strong enough, or the edge banding may not have been pressed into place firmly enough. Try using a stronger adhesive and pressing the edge banding into place more firmly.
* The edge banding is not flush with the edge of the wood or composite panel. The cut may not have been made at a perfect 90-degree angle, or the edge banding may not have been pressed into place evenly. Try recutting the edge banding at a perfect 90-degree angle and pressing it into place more evenly.
