As a leading manufacturer of edge banding in China, we are often asked for advice on how to apply edge banding correctly and efficiently. One of the most important tools for edge banding is a jig, which holds the banding in place while you apply it. A good jig will make the process much easier and faster, and it will help you to achieve a professional-looking finish.

There are many different types of edge banding jigs available on the market, but they can be expensive. If you are on a budget, you can easily make your own edge banding jig using materials that you can find at your local hardware store. In this article, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to make your own DIY edge banding jig.
