Additional Tips


* Use a sharp trim bit to ensure a clean and precise cut.
* Hold the edge banding material firmly in place while trimming.
* Practice on scrap pieces before trimming actual parts.
* Consider using a scoring blade in the edge banding machine to create a small groove in the edge banding before trimming. This can help to prevent chipping and tear-out.
* If the edge banding material is particularly thick or challenging to trim, use a wider trim bit or multiple passes.
* Regularly clean the trim bit and machine to prevent clogging and ensure optimal performance.
