How to Cut Edge Banding177

Edge banding is a thin strip of material that is applied to the edge of a workpiece to cover the exposed core or substrate. It is used to improve the appearance and durability of the workpiece, and can also be used to hide imperfections. Edge banding is available in a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, and metal. It can be cut to size using a variety of methods, depending on the material and the desired results.

To cut edge banding, you will need the following tools:
A sharp knife or razor blade
A ruler or measuring tape
A miter box (optional)
A sanding block or sandpaper (optional)

To cut edge banding, follow these steps:1. Measure the length of the edge you need to cover.
2. Cut a piece of edge banding to the desired length.
3. If you are using a miter box, set the miter box to the desired angle.
4. Place the edge banding in the miter box and cut it to the desired length.
5. If you are not using a miter box, you can cut the edge banding freehand. To do this, hold the edge banding against the edge of the workpiece and use a sharp knife or razor blade to score the edge banding along the edge of the workpiece. Be careful not to cut into the workpiece itself.
6. Once the edge banding has been scored, bend it back and forth along the score line until it breaks.
7. Sand the edge of the edge banding smooth.
8. Apply the edge banding to the edge of the workpiece. To do this, apply a thin layer of adhesive to the edge of the workpiece and then press the edge banding into place. Use a roller or a burnishing tool to press the edge banding firmly into place.
9. Trim any excess edge banding. To do this, use a sharp knife or razor blade to trim the edge banding flush with the edge of the workpiece.

Once the edge banding has been cut and applied, you can finish the workpiece by sanding it and applying a finish. Edge banding is a versatile material that can be used to improve the appearance and durability of a variety of workpieces.
