How to Make a DIY Edge Banding Bevel Trimmer173

As a professional Chinese furniture edge banding strip manufacturer, we often encounter customers who ask us how to trim the excess edge banding after it has been applied to their furniture. While there are many commercial edge banding trimmers available on the market, they can be expensive, especially for small workshops or hobbyists. In this article, we will show you how to make your own DIY edge banding bevel trimmer using simple tools and materials that you can find at your local hardware store.

Materials You Will Need
A piece of wood, approximately 6 inches wide by 12 inches long and 1 inch thick
A piece of plywood, approximately 6 inches wide by 12 inches long and 1/2 inch thick
A piece of aluminum angle, approximately 6 inches long
A utility knife
A wood chisel
A hammer
A drill
A countersink bit
A wood screw

Instructions

1. Start by cutting the piece of wood to the desired size. The length of the wood will determine the length of the edge banding that you can trim at one time. The width of the wood should be slightly wider than the widest edge banding that you will be using.

2. Cut the piece of plywood to the same length as the wood. The plywood will be used as a base for the aluminum angle.

3. Drill two holes in the aluminum angle, approximately 1 inch from each end. The holes should be large enough to accommodate the wood screws.

4. Countersink the holes in the aluminum angle. This will help to prevent the wood screws from protruding from the surface of the angle.

5. Attach the aluminum angle to the plywood using the wood screws. Make sure that the aluminum angle is flush with the edge of the plywood.

6. Cut a small bevel on the edge of the plywood. This will help to guide the utility knife when you are trimming the edge banding.

7. To use the DIY edge banding bevel trimmer, simply place the edge banding on the plywood and align it with the aluminum angle. Hold the utility knife at a slight angle and trim the excess edge banding. The bevel on the plywood will help to prevent the utility knife from cutting into the furniture.

Tips
Use a sharp utility knife to get a clean cut.
Be careful not to cut yourself when using the utility knife.
If you are trimming a large amount of edge banding, you may want to use a power tool, such as a router or a table saw.

Conclusion

Making your own DIY edge banding bevel trimmer is a great way to save money and get professional-looking results. With just a few simple tools and materials, you can create a tool that will help you to quickly and easily trim the excess edge banding from your furniture.
