Instructions1. Cut the plywood base: Cut the plywood into a 3-foot x 2-foot rectangle. This will serve as the base of your edgebander trimmer.
2. Attach the hardboard: Glue and screw the hardboard to the plywood base, flush with the edges. This will provide a smooth surface for the edgeband to run on.
3. Build the fence: Cut the MDF into a 2-foot x 2-foot square. Attach it to the left side of the plywood base, perpendicular to the hardboard. This will serve as the fence that guides the edgeband.
4. Drill the holes for the PVC pipes: Drill a 1/2-inch hole in the center of the MDF fence, 2 inches from the top. Drill a 1/4-inch hole in the center of the hardboard, 1 inch from the bottom.
5. Assemble the PVC pipes: Insert the 1/2-inch PVC pipe into the 1/2-inch PVC elbow. Connect the elbow to the hole in the MDF fence. Insert the 1/4-inch PVC pipe into the 1/4-inch PVC tee. Connect the tee to the hole in the hardboard.
6. Attach the trimmer bit: Attach a trimmer bit to the end of the 1/2-inch PVC pipe. The trimmer bit should be the same diameter as your edgeband.
7. Adjust the fence: Adjust the fence so that the trimmer bit is positioned directly above the center of the edgeband.
8. Connect the trimmer motor: Connect the trimmer motor to the 1/4-inch PVC tee.
9. Test the edgebander trimmer: Turn on the trimmer motor and feed a length of edgeband through the machine. Check the quality of the trim and make any necessary adjustments.
