To assist our valued customers, we have compiled this comprehensive guide on how to effectively cut wood door edge banding.

1. Gather Necessary Tools and Materials

Before starting, make sure you have all the necessary tools and materials. These include:
Wood door edge banding
Sharp utility knife or razor blade
Mitre box
Measuring tape or ruler
Pencil or marking tool

2. Measure and Mark the Cutting Length

Measure the length of the door edge where the banding will be applied. Mark this length on the edge banding using a pencil or marking tool.

3. Set Up the Mitre Box

Place the mitre box on a stable surface. Adjust the mitre box to a 45-degree angle.

4. Position the Edge Banding

Insert the wood door edge banding into the mitre box, aligning the marked cutting length with the cutting guide.

5. Cut the Edge Banding

Hold the utility knife or razor blade perpendicular to the edge banding and carefully draw it through the mitre box, following the cutting guide. Apply even pressure to ensure a clean cut.

6. De-burr the Cut Edges

After cutting, there may be small burrs or rough edges on the cut surfaces. Use fine-grit sandpaper or a deburring tool to remove these burrs and create a smooth finish.

7. Optional: Make 90-Degree Cuts

If you need to cut 90-degree angles, you can use a simple jig to hold the edge banding perpendicular to the cutting surface. This will help you achieve precise 90-degree cuts.

Use a sharp cutting tool to prevent tearing or chipping.
