Sawtooth Edges on Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) after Edging11

Dear valued customer,

We are writing to address the issue of sawtooth edges that can occur when edging Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) with our furniture edge banding. We understand that this is a concern and we want to assure you that we are committed to providing you with high-quality products and services.

Sawtooth edges are caused by a combination of factors, including the characteristics of the LVL substrate, the type of edge banding used, and the edging process. LVL is a composite material made from thin sheets of wood veneer bonded together with adhesives. The grain direction of each veneer layer is perpendicular to the adjacent layer, which gives LVL its strength and stability. However, the alternating grain direction can also cause the edges of the LVL to be more prone to chipping and splintering.

The type of edge banding used can also affect the likelihood of sawtooth edges. Edge banding with a thicker adhesive layer or a more aggressive adhesive can be more likely to cause chipping and splintering. The edging process itself can also contribute to sawtooth edges if the edge bander is not properly adjusted or maintained.

We have taken steps to address the issue of sawtooth edges on LVL by making improvements to our edge banding materials and processes. We have developed a new edge banding with a thinner adhesive layer and a less aggressive adhesive. We have also made adjustments to our edging process to reduce the risk of chipping and splintering.

We believe that these improvements will significantly reduce the occurrence of sawtooth edges on LVL. However, we also recommend that our customers take the following steps to minimize the risk of this problem:
Use a sharp cutting blade on your edge bander.
Adjust the edge bander settings to minimize the amount of pressure applied to the LVL.
Use a backing board to support the LVL during the edging process.
Allow the adhesive to cure completely before handling the LVL.

We are confident that by following these steps, you can achieve high-quality edges on your LVL projects. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your business.

Sincerely,

Your furniture edge banding factory
