How to prep solid wood plywood nosing onsite?

[duburban]

I need to prep some solid nosing to edge some plywood on a trundle bed. I can get great glue ready lines on the plywood but I'm not having that success on the nosing. Is there a festool method for this? I have track saws, parallel guides, and on…

Rip it using the track saw.

Gotcha, what about on edge in a planer?

If you wish to rip it slightly oversize you can run it through a planer. Just make sure there is enough extra length so you can cut the snipe off. No guarantee the planed pieces will be any straighter.

I've never had any issues with ripped pieces not being glue ready.

What wood, thickness, length?

Yeah, this started because i'm not used to using the parallel guide extensions so I opted for table saw rips. They just aren't clean enough for my taste. Now that I've logged some more hours with the parallel guides I could count on a glue ready rip off them.

To make use of what I have cut I may use the face of the board as the glue surface and try the parallel guide method when I run out of stock.

I'd cut the edgings a little thicker than I needed ..glue them on and flush them of ..then trim the couple of mm of with guide rail

I always prep the edge with the Collins ply prep bit then rip the nosing on the table saw and glue on. It's an extra step but there is virtually no gap. The Collins bit allows you to close up any gaps between the nosing and the ply.

Another good set of edge banding bits comes from MLCS.  I rather like the set #1284 at the bottom of the page referenced.  Michael Burgess also has a very nice set of edge banding bits.
