How to Manually Chamfer Furniture Edge Banding152

Introduction

Edge banding is a thin strip of material used to cover the exposed edges of plywood, particleboard, or other wood panels. It helps protect the panel from moisture and wear, and it can also improve the panel's appearance. Edge banding can be applied by hand or with a machine. If you're applying edge banding by hand, you'll need to chamfer the edges of the banding before you apply it. This will help the banding to adhere to the panel more securely and will prevent it from peeling off.
