How to Edge Band a 90 Degree Angle with a Woodworking Router190

Edge banding is a woodworking technique that involves applying a strip of material to the edge of a workpiece. Edge banding can be used to improve the appearance of a workpiece, to protect the workpiece from damage, or to create a more durable edge. Edge banding is a relatively simple process, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind to ensure that you get a good result.

Materials You Will Need* Woodworking router
* Edge banding material
* Hot melt glue
* Router bit
* Featherboard
* Clamps

Steps1. Prepare the workpiece. The first step is to prepare the workpiece by cleaning the surface of the workpiece and removing any dust or debris. You may also need to sand the surface of the workpiece to smooth it out.
2. Apply hot melt glue to the edge of the workpiece. Once the workpiece is prepared, you can apply hot melt glue to the edge of the workpiece. Use a hot melt glue gun to apply the glue to the edge of the workpiece. Be sure to apply the glue evenly to the entire edge of the workpiece.
3. Attach the edge banding material. Once the glue is applied, you can attach the edge banding material to the workpiece. Align the edge banding material with the edge of the workpiece and press it into place. Be sure to apply pressure to the edge banding material to ensure that it adheres to the workpiece.
4. Trim the edge banding material. Once the edge banding material is attached, you can trim it to the desired length. Use a utility knife or a trimming bit to trim the edge banding material. Be sure to trim the edge banding material flush with the edge of the workpiece.
5. Sand the edge banding material. The final step is to sand the edge banding material to smooth it out. Use a fine-grit sandpaper to sand the edge banding material. Be sure to sand the edge banding material in the direction of the grain.

Tips* Use a featherboard to help you keep the workpiece steady while you are routing the edge banding material.
* Use a sharp router bit to ensure that you get a clean cut.
* Apply even pressure to the router to ensure that you get a consistent depth of cut.
* Trim the edge banding material flush with the edge of the workpiece to prevent it from peeling off.
* Sand the edge banding material in the direction of the grain to prevent it from splintering.
