Over by the chop saw is what looks like a machine to do edge banding. I was wondering who knows how to use it?
Hi Bryan,
We haven’t got this fully online and documented yet—it works but has some potential safety issues. Mainly, that it takes 30 minutes to get up to glue-melting temperature, and it’s it then stays on and hot unless users remember to turn it off.
I believe someone reported that a some nearby equipment fell on it and broke the wheels off.
Other than that it’s pretty straightforward! There’s a paper copy of the manual that should be nearby. The glue spreader can be adjusted for more or less glue, and the guide height can be adjusted depending on the thickness of your edge banding material. It’s important that your edge banding not be pre-glued. Feel free to learn more about it and use it, but please also remember to turn it off when you’re done.
And guess what kind edging I bought - yup, you’re right, the stuff that’s pre-glued. Oh well, I still need a demo but I’m in no rush what-so-ever
