Step 2: Measure and mark the edging strip
Determine the desired length of the edging strip using a measuring tape or ruler.
Mark the cutting line on the edging strip using a pencil or marking tool.

Step 3: Cut the edging strip
Securely clamp the edging strip to a stable surface to prevent movement during cutting.
If using a mitre saw, adjust the angle to 90 degrees for a straight cut.
Align the cutting line with the saw blade and carefully cut through the edging strip, maintaining a firm grip on the saw.
If using a hand saw, hold the saw perpendicular to the edging strip and make clean, straight strokes along the cutting line.

Step 4: Sand the cut edge
Use sandpaper or a sanding block to smooth any rough edges or splinters left from the cutting process.
Sand in the direction of the grain to minimize scratching and ensure a clean finish.

Step 5: Test the fit
Place the trimmed edging strip along the edge to be covered.
Check the fit and make any necessary adjustments to the length or angle of the cut.

Step 6: Apply adhesive and install the strip
Apply a thin layer of wood glue or contact adhesive to the back of the edging strip.
Position the strip along the edge and press firmly to ensure a secure bond.
Use a rubber mallet or hammer to tap lightly along the length of the strip, ensuring complete adhesion.

Tips for success
Always wear safety glasses when working with power tools.
Use sharp cutting tools to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Clamp the edging strip firmly to prevent movement during cutting.
Sand the cut edge thoroughly to remove any rough edges.
Test the fit before applying adhesive to ensure a perfect fit.

By following these steps and tips, woodworkers can easily trim down furniture edging strips on-site to meet specific project requirements, resulting in a professional and durable finish that enhances the overall appearance and functionality of their furniture.
