As a leading manufacturer of edge banding in China, we understand the importance of proper trimming to ensure a professional-looking finish. In this comprehensive video guide, we will demonstrate the step-by-step process of trimming round edge banding with precision and efficiency.

Materials You'll Need:* Round edge banding
* Trim router
* Trim bit (1/4" or 1/2" radius)
* Flush trim bit
* Router table or handheld router
* Safety glasses
* Dust mask

Step 1: Prepare the Edge Banding* Ensure the edge banding is properly applied to the edge of the workpiece using a hot melt adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive.
* Remove any excess adhesive that may have squeezed out during application.
* Mark the areas where you need to trim the edge banding.

Step 2: Set Up the Trim Router* Mount the trim bit in the router. The bit size should match the radius of the edge banding (e.g., 1/4" bit for 1/4" radius edge banding).
* Adjust the router table height or handheld router base to expose the desired cutting depth.
* The cutting depth should be just deep enough to trim the edge banding flush with the edge of the workpiece.

Step 3: Trim the Round Edge Banding* Hold the workpiece securely in place on the router table or with a handheld router.
* Engage the router and slowly guide it along the edge of the workpiece.
* Keep the router steady and maintain a consistent cutting speed.
* Trim the edge banding on both sides of the workpiece.

Step 4: Use a Flush Trim Bit for Final Trimming* Once the round edge banding is trimmed with the standard trim bit, switch to a flush trim bit.
* The flush trim bit will remove any slight overhang of the edge banding that may have occurred during the initial trimming.
* Hold the workpiece securely and engage the router.
* Slowly guide the router along the edges of the workpiece to achieve a perfectly flush finish.

Step 5: Inspect and Clean Up* After trimming, inspect the edge banding to ensure it is flush with the workpiece and free from any imperfections.
* Use a sanding block or sandpaper to smooth any rough edges or remove any splinters.
* Clean the workpiece to remove any dust or debris.

Tips:* Use a sharp trim bit for clean and precise cuts.
* Ensure the workpiece is securely held to prevent movement during trimming.
* Feed the workpiece into the router gradually to avoid tear-out.
* Wear proper safety gear, including safety glasses and a dust mask.
* If using a handheld router, clamp the workpiece down to a stable surface for added safety and precision.
