How to Cut Edge Banding for Corner Joints191

Edge banding is a thin strip of material that is applied to the edges of furniture components to create a finished look. It can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, and metal. Edge banding is typically applied using a hot melt adhesive, which melts the adhesive and bonds it to the edge of the component.

When applying edge banding to a corner joint, it is important to cut the edge banding at a 45-degree angle. This will create a mitered joint, which will be stronger and more durable than a butt joint. To cut edge banding at a 45-degree angle, you can use a miter saw, a table saw, or a hand saw.

Here are the steps on how to cut edge banding for corner joints using a miter saw:1. Measure the length of the edge that you need to cover with edge banding.
2. Cut the edge banding to the measured length.
3. Place the edge banding on the miter saw table, with the edge of the banding aligned with the saw blade.
4. Adjust the miter saw to a 45-degree angle.
5. Slowly lower the saw blade onto the edge banding and cut through the material.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 to cut the other end of the edge banding at a 45-degree angle.
7. Apply hot melt adhesive to the back of the edge banding and press it onto the edge of the component.
8. Use a roller or a burnishing tool to press the edge banding into place.

Here are the steps on how to cut edge banding for corner joints using a table saw:1. Measure the length of the edge that you need to cover with edge banding.
2. Cut the edge banding to the measured length.
3. Place the edge banding on the table saw table, with the edge of the banding aligned with the saw blade.
4. Adjust the table saw blade to a 45-degree angle.
5. Slowly feed the edge banding through the saw blade, keeping your fingers clear of the blade.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 to cut the other end of the edge banding at a 45-degree angle.
7. Apply hot melt adhesive to the back of the edge banding and press it onto the edge of the component.
8. Use a roller or a burnishing tool to press the edge banding into place.

Here are the steps on how to cut edge banding for corner joints using a hand saw:1. Measure the length of the edge that you need to cover with edge banding.
2. Cut the edge banding to the measured length.
3. Mark a 45-degree angle on the end of the edge banding.
4. Use a hand saw to cut the edge banding at the marked angle.
5. Repeat steps 3-4 to cut the other end of the edge banding at a 45-degree angle.
6. Apply hot melt adhesive to the back of the edge banding and press it onto the edge of the component.
7. Use a roller or a burnishing tool to press the edge banding into place.

Once you have cut the edge banding to the correct length and angle, you can apply it to the edge of the component. To do this, apply a thin layer of hot melt adhesive to the back of the edge banding and press it onto the edge of the component. Use a roller or a burnishing tool to press the edge banding into place. Allow the adhesive to cool and set before using the component.
