[Video] How to Make Edge Banding with Trimming203

As a leading Chinese furniture edge banding factory, we are often asked about the process of edge banding, especially how to make perfect trimming. In this video, we will share our expertise and guide you through the steps of making edge banding with trimming.

Materials and Equipment* Edge Banding: PVC, ABS, or Veneer Edge Banding
* Trimmer: Manual or Electric Edge Banding Trimmer
* Adhesive: Hot Melt Adhesive or Contact Cement
* Iron: Hand-held Iron or Edge Banding Machine
* Trim Cutter: 45-degree or 90-degree Carbide Tipped Trim Cutter

Steps

1. Prepare the Edge Banding

* Cut the edge banding to the desired length.
* Apply a thin layer of adhesive evenly to the back of the edge banding.

2. Apply the Edge Banding

* Place the edge banding along the edge of the substrate, aligning it flush with the surface.
* Use the iron to heat and press the edge banding firmly onto the substrate, ensuring it adheres securely.

3. Trim the Excess Edge Banding

* Using a Manual Trimmer: Hold the trimmer steady against the substrate and guide it along the edge of the edge banding. Use firm pressure to cut through the excess material.
* Using an Electric Trimmer: Set the trimmer to the desired depth and angle (45 or 90 degrees) and trim the excess edge banding by moving it along the substrate.

4. Round the Edges (Optional)

* Use a rounding file or sanding block to round the edges of the edge banding for a finished look.

Tips for Perfect Trimming* Use a sharp trim cutter: A dull cutter will tear the edge banding instead of cutting it cleanly.
* Trim at a 45-degree angle: This angle provides a strong and aesthetically pleasing joint.
* Use a guide or template: This helps to ensure straight and even trimming.
* Practice on scrap material: Before working on your actual project, practice on scrap pieces to get the hang of the trimming process.
* Use a vacuum cleaner: This will help to remove dust and debris from the trimming area, ensuring better adhesion.

Conclusion

Making edge banding with trimming requires precision and attention to detail. By following the steps outlined in this guide and practicing on scrap material, you can achieve professional-looking results at home or in your workshop.
