How to Cut Right Angle Edge Banding48

As a leading Chinese edge banding factory, we understand the importance of precise cutting for optimal edge banding results. In this article, we will guide you through the essential steps on how to cut right angle edge banding strips accurately and efficiently.

Step 1: Gather the Necessary Tools

To cut right angle edge banding, you will need the following tools:*
Edge banding cutter or guillotine
Tape measure or ruler
Pencil or marking tool
Safety glasses

Step 2: Measure and Mark the Edge Banding

Measure the length of the edge you need to band and add an extra 1-2 inches for overlap. Transfer this measurement onto the edge banding strip using a tape measure or ruler. Mark the cutting line with a pencil or marking tool.

Step 3: Position the Edge Banding in the Cutter

Place the edge banding strip with the marked cutting line facing upwards in the edge banding cutter. Ensure the strip is aligned correctly and securely held in place by the cutter mechanism.

Step 4: Adjust the Cutter to a Right Angle

Most edge banding cutters have an adjustable stop that allows you to set the cutting angle. Adjust this stop to a 90-degree right angle. This will ensure that the strip is cut perpendicular to its length.

Step 5: Execute the Cut

With the cutter properly adjusted, apply pressure to the cutting handle. Use a firm and steady motion to push the edge banding strip through the blade. Keep your hands away from the blade and wear safety glasses for protection.

Step 6: Check the Cut Angle

Once the cut is complete, remove the edge banding strip from the cutter and inspect the cut. Ensure that the edge is straight and perpendicular to the strip's length. If necessary, make minor adjustments to the cutter angle or repeat the cutting process.

Step 7: Prepare for Application

The right angle cut edge banding strip is now ready for application. Trim any excess overlap and apply adhesive to both the edge of the furniture and the underside of the edge banding strip. Align the strip carefully and press it firmly into place.

Additional Tips:

• Use a sharp blade in the edge banding cutter for clean and precise cuts.

• Consider using a miter gauge or angle measuring tool for even more accurate cutting.

• Practice your cutting technique on scrap pieces of edge banding before working on actual furniture.

By following these steps and observing the additional tips, you can effectively cut right angle edge banding strips for professional-looking results.
