As a leading manufacturer of furniture edging strips in China, we understand the importance of creating furniture with aesthetically pleasing and durable edges. Beveled edges are a popular choice for furniture as they provide a sophisticated and seamless look. However, achieving perfect beveled edges requires the right techniques and tools.

In this video guide, we will take you through the step-by-step process of manually beveling furniture edging strips. Our expert artisans will demonstrate the techniques and tips necessary to achieve a professional-grade finish.

Materials You'll Need* Furniture edging strip
* Beveling tool (manual or electric)
* Measuring tape
* Pencil
* Sandpaper (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Edging Strip


* Measure the length and width of the edge you need to cover. Cut the edging strip to the desired size using a sharp knife or miter saw.

Step 2: Mark the Bevel Angle


* Decide on the angle of the bevel. The most common angle for furniture edging is 45 degrees.
* Using a measuring tape and pencil, mark the desired width of the bevel along the length of the strip.

Step 3: Use the Beveling Tool


* There are two main types of beveling tools: manual and electric. Both types can achieve a high-quality bevel but require slightly different techniques.
* Manual beveling tool: Hold the tool at the desired angle and guide it along the marked line. Apply moderate pressure and move the tool smoothly to create a clean bevel.
* Electric beveling tool: Wear safety glasses and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Set the angle and depth of the bevel according to the desired results. Hold the tool firmly and guide it along the marked line.

Step 4: Sand the Edges (Optional)


* If desired, you can use fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges or imperfections. Sand the beveled surface gently to remove any splinters or burrs.

Step 5: Apply Adhesive and Install


* Apply a suitable adhesive along the beveled surface of the edging strip.
* Align the edging strip with the edge of the furniture and press it down firmly. Use a hammer or mallet to gently tap the strip into place.

Tips for a Professional Finish* Use sharp tools to ensure clean cuts and bevels.
* Practice on a scrap piece of wood before starting on the actual furniture.
* If using an electric beveling tool, adjust the depth of the bevel gradually to avoid over-cutting.
* Apply the adhesive evenly to create a strong bond between the strip and the furniture.
* Use a damp cloth to remove any excess adhesive immediately.
