Making edge banding by accident.

[Stephen B]

Had to take the edge off a length of some SugarGum the other day. Used T55 tracksaw and rail. After I finished I realised that I had made my first piece of edge banding.

Although I did not need it, I will remember this for when I do.

SugarGum is an Australian wood used in decking and in furniture manufacture.

Very handy for edge banding by accident.

I keep the off cuts from straight lining boards with the track saw. I just put them near the planer. When I am running other stuff through the planer I plane them while I am at it to take the rough side off and get a uniform thickness. I store them in a rack made from 4" PVC pipe. That way I frequently have a piece for banding or whatever readily available with almost no extra work.

Excellent tip, will start doing that, but I bet your production rate will be extremely greater.  [smile]
