How to Load Edge Banding into an Edge Bander120

Edge banding is a thin strip of material that is applied to the exposed edges of wood panels or other materials to create a finished look. It can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, metal, and paper. Edge banding can be applied by hand using adhesive, or it can be applied using a machine called an edge bander.

If you are using an edge bander to apply edge banding, it is important to load the edge banding into the machine correctly. Otherwise, the edge banding may not adhere properly or it may tear. Here are the steps for loading edge banding into an edge bander:
Cut the edge banding to the correct length. The edge banding should be long enough to cover the entire edge of the workpiece, plus a few inches.
Apply adhesive to the edge of the workpiece. The adhesive should be applied evenly to the entire edge of the workpiece.
Place the edge banding on the edge of the workpiece. The edge banding should be aligned with the edge of the workpiece and pressed into place.
Trim the excess edge banding. The excess edge banding should be trimmed off using a sharp knife or a pair of scissors.
Apply pressure to the edge banding. Pressure should be applied to the edge banding to ensure that it adheres properly to the workpiece.

Once the edge banding has been applied, it should be allowed to dry completely before the workpiece is used. The drying time will vary depending on the type of adhesive that is used.

Here are some additional tips for loading edge banding into an edge bander:
Use a sharp knife or a pair of scissors to trim the excess edge banding. A dull knife or scissors will tear the edge banding.
Apply pressure to the edge banding evenly using a rubber roller or a hand roller. This will help to ensure that the edge banding adheres properly to the workpiece.
Allow the edge banding to dry completely before the workpiece is used. This will help to prevent the edge banding from peeling off.
