[Homemade Edge Banding Trimmer for Woodworkers]186

As a leading manufacturer of edge banding in China, we're constantly striving to innovate and find ways to help our customers achieve the best possible results. One of the most important aspects of edge banding is a clean and precise trim, which is why we're excited to share this homemade edge banding trimmer that we've developed.

This trimmer is designed to be used with a handheld router and a flush trim bit. It's made from a simple piece of plywood with a fence that guides the router along the edge of the workpiece. This ensures a perfectly straight and even trim every time.

Materials You'll Need:- 3/4" plywood
- 1/4" plywood
- Flush trim bit
- Router
- Wood glue
- Screws
- Sandpaper

Instructions:1. Cut two pieces of 3/4" plywood to 12" x 18". These will form the base and fence of the trimmer.
2. Cut two pieces of 1/4" plywood to 2" x 12". These will form the sides of the fence.
3. Glue and screw the sides of the fence to the base.
4. Align the fence with the edge of the workpiece and clamp it in place.
5. Insert the flush trim bit into the router and adjust the depth of cut so that the bit just touches the surface of the workpiece.
6. Start the router and slowly move it along the edge of the workpiece.
7. The trimmer will trim the edge banding flush with the surface of the workpiece.

Tips:- Use a sharp flush trim bit for best results.
- Clamp the fence securely to the workpiece to prevent it from moving while trimming.
- If you're trimming a large piece of workpiece, consider using a router table instead of a handheld router.

Conclusion:This homemade edge banding trimmer is a simple and effective way to get a clean and precise trim on your edge banding. It's easy to make and use, and it will save you time and effort in the long run. We encourage you to give it a try and see for yourself how well it works.
