9.5.3 Handling of shaping tools
Shaping tools must be handled with special care.
If possible, use special protective containers or hanging
arrangements for storage.
9.5.4 Processing phases
It is quite simple to obtain good edge banding results;
anyhow it is necessary to keep in mind a good number of
variations, of which each one contributes to the best final
results.
The aspects are summarized in 4 groups:
1.
Workpieces to be edgebanded
2.
Edge bands used
3.
Hot melting glues
4.
Adjustment of the machine
1. Workpieces to be edgebanded:
• It is advisable to use good quality workpieces with a
sufficient density.
• Cutting must be smooth , without chipping and with a
straightness of at least + 0,1 mm per linear metre.
• The area to be edgebanded must be free from dust and
humidity.
• The cut must be perfect at (90°) both on surface and in
thickness.

2. Edge bands used:
• Use good quality pre-glued edge bands.
• Keep them in a dry storage place.
• Check that manufacturing date is written on the
wrapping (the glue loses defensibility with time).
• Check that manufacturer indicates suggested melting
temperature.
• Avoid the use of PVC edge bands of limited thickness,
since they are very difficult to apply.
3. Hot melting glues:
•
Use hot melting glues suitable for the machine
characteristics and carefully respect the manufacturers
specifications.
• Check that the glue is spread uniformly on the panel.
• Effect various tests to find the right quantity of glue, using
lever to adjust the amount of the glue.
• The glue must not overflow, otherwise the cutters will get
stained.
4. Adjustment of the machine:
Turn on the main switch and all other functions and dust
outlet system, make some edge banding tests checking
following points:
• Height of panel feeder equal to the workpiece thickness
• Sideway push
• Glue melting temperature
• Belt feeder
• Cutting nipper adjustments
• Flush trimming unit
