Solutions for Gluing on Edge Banding With Clamps

Lots of projects call for some kind of edge banding. The edge banding might be thin pieces you’re applying to European style cabinet cases, slightly larger pieces you’re applying to the edge of a shelf to make it more rigid, or exceptionally thick pieces being added to a bar or table edge.

All of these instances call for clamping strategies that allow you to successfully pull the edge band tight, and this can be a challenge. Here are gluing and clamping wood solutions for a variety of edge band applications, some of which include use of an edge clamp, while others use bar clamps.

Different solutions for different applications

Thin edge banding that’s being used on a Euro style cabinet has much different clamping requirements than heavier edge banding that’s being used on a table or bar top. Add to the mix the clamping problem of spanning an especially wide board that you’re edge banding, or a curved edge.

These applications really allow an edge clamp to shine, and show how it’s the right tool for the job. Regardless of the edge banding or edge clamp application you’re up against, there’s a solution that will help you make your woodworking project come out great.
