Materials Required

To trim the edge banding side effectively, you will need the following materials:* Edge banding material
* Trimming tool (e.g., flush trim router, edge trimmer, utility knife)
* Measuring tape
* Pencil or marking tool

Step-by-Step Instructions1. Measure and Mark the Trim Line

Measure the length of the edge banding side and mark the trim line using a pencil or marking tool. Ensure that the trim line is slightly longer than the actual edge of the furniture piece.2. Choose a Trimming Tool

Depending on the thickness and material of your edge banding, you can choose an appropriate trimming tool. A flush trim router provides the most precise cuts, while an edge trimmer is ideal for thinner edge banding. A utility knife can be used for hand-held trimming.3. Set Up the Trimming Tool

If you are using a flush trim router or edge trimmer, adjust the cutting depth to match the thickness of your edge banding. For a utility knife, ensure the blade is sharp and secure.4. Trim the Excess Edge Banding

Place the trimming tool along the trim line and start trimming the excess edge banding. Hold the tool firmly and move it steadily along the edge. If you are using a utility knife, score the edge banding lightly and then use a straight edge or ruler to guide your cuts.5. Clean Up and Finishing Touches

Once the excess edge banding is trimmed, remove any shavings or debris. If desired, you can apply contact cement to the trimmed edge for a stronger bond and a more refined finish.
