edge bander

WARNING! heat guns get very hot!! there is a definite fire danger because of the materials used in this project!! I used a bed caster wheel for the roller which is probably not the best material because of the direct heat. A piece of 1" steel round stock would be ideal. there is also a risk of the wood getting to hot during extended use. All that being said i have used it a lot without any issue but i am constantly checking making sure nothing get to hot.

I recently have a need for an edge bander because of an upcoming kitchen project. Looking around and looks like the cheapest bander you will find is about 400 buck (to much for me). I used materials I already had lying around the house and bought a 20 dollar heat gun. I am really surprised how will this works and it should make my kitchen project go much faster.

No matter what the second guess or neysayers might be telling you. I think it is a great build and very innovative thinking! It will ease the work and speed the project to completion! Congrats!

[@chrisoutram3118]

Super impressed! Awesome job! Not only was the conception and craft of making it excellent, the presentation was right on! WOW! Keep up the good work!

[@Shopbuilt]

+Chris Outram thank you:)

[@j.79]

What a brilliant solution and with a small modification it could be used to apply edge banding to odd shaped workpieces. Thanks for sharing.

[@terrym1293]

Love it! I’m sick of using an iron and decided to make a edge bander so was looking for inspiration. Thanks a lot, going to make one pronto!

[@DIYTyler]

Awesome idea man, should be super handy to have around!

[@CMRWoodworks]

I am blown away. Stinking sweet, man.

[@AprilWilkerson]

That's awesome! Great job on the bander and video.

Thank you!!

Pretty cool jig, I liked the drill lathe part!

[@Shopbuilt]

Thanks!

[@datadev1]

Great idea. This is a keeper. I want to build one.

[@robertgeldard1273]

Now that's the way to do it fantastic job

[@samraa2006]

OMG! this is genius ! you replaced and expensive machine with simple device good job I will try this

[@AssafLevyIL]

Nice job. Although in my case when I applied PVC edge banding with a hard roler such as this plastic caused dents/waves from the heat. The semi automatic machines used by the small shops here have a thick rubber roller.

[@millsbrian55]

Very clever design!

[@matthewjohnson7933]

That is fricken genius! Nice job!

[@tiitsaul9036]

Another great invention

Reallt great and easy design. Thanks for sharing.

[@Dair.Builds]

Its amazing that only yesterday i was looking at plans online to see if any 1 else made 1 and then today you have a video up. Cheers some good ideas i might use a metal rollers dow

[@Shopbuilt]

Nice! I definitely recommend the steel roller. Thanks for watching!

[@brianly499]

I have a 60k Edgebander and even i would state - very clever there my friend

Now that would come in handy. Great idea and video.

Great idea.

[@robmazzitelli]

Very cool!

[@KSFWG]

That's one "hot" invention! It should "fan the flames" of efficiency for your project. I hope we can see it in action for your kitchen project before it's finished and all "banded" up. Thanks for the video.

[@Shopbuilt]

Lol, thanks!!

[@tonybp965]

WOW, you got props from Belleview Woodshop. That's high praise Ryan. Congrats. For some reason this didn't look like you. Don't know...maybe it's me. Lol

[@user-ti5df1jg7t]

I ingenious idea !

[@RicOrnelas]

Sweet! On my list.

[@amilcarj6773]

good job my friend exelent, terrific

[@gmor46]

Very clever !

[@geoffstein3896]

That's tops! Thanks for sharing that. Is that the iron on type of edge banding you are using? If so do you think you'd be able to use the thicker stuff cabinet makers use in those big expensive machine type edge banders ? Thanks

[@ChristianPerez70]

that is sick bro. great idea

[@Shopbuilt]

Thanks!!

[@mangasahota7673]

Good job sir

[@ahmaelmalky]

That's awesome ! , i wanna ask if there is any idea to use hot melt glue? cartridge or pot not self glued pvc

[@mayankbokshe1966]

Great Job..!!! But how do you glue up the edging strip or panel..??

[@UriValdez]

Pretty genious!

[@kylecroft5807]

Nice jig Ryan

[@antonioluis5954]

[@mukeshsoni8168]

Superb 👌 bro

[@thebeardedone7502]

Thumbs way up & added to favs

[@jk_hanuman_bhakt_jai_shree_ram]

Very nice

[@fabiocassio]

Hi ShopBuild, thanks a lot for this video!!! Are you using glue in both band and wood board, before sticking all together, or there is a band with glue already in the market? I am starting some small home projects, here in Brazil, and would like know your comments to achieve good quality. Keep the nice work and stay safe.

[@DBCarpentryNV]

Where did you purchase your edge banding trimmer and how much was it? Great video BTW!

[@DanielBos]

How about another small fence next to the heat gun? I noticed the work piece is a bit wiggly until you make good contact with the existing fence.

[@MichaelOlsen-Engineer]

Very clever idea! I have never been very good at "taping" long strips so I have avoided edge banding. However, your jig is making me seriously reconsider that option. Thanks! Did you also make the trimmer you used or was that a purchase?

[@juanantoniosanchezayon5543]

Muy buenos consejos y tecmicas

[@Aprendiz-de-Marceneiro]

Isso foi ótimo. 👏👏👏

[@hothmob]

I like it. How hot does the plastic wheel get?

[@avatarrokhu2887]

Genius.... 👍👍

[@polarbear9434]

Very nice mate. Would be even better with a foot pedal on off switch for the heat gun :)

[@hinduspl]

+Shop built will it also work with plastic abs edging? how do you apply glue?

[@valdimarcorreia4626]

I did not understand how and made the paste on the ribbon, pass some paste before?

[@kevinlaw7375]

Thanks for sharing. Just landing on this video after reading on reddit that you can't use a heat gun for edge banding. 😄 Great jig.

[@antonellagermillac8633]

Hola de que voltaje se recomienda la pistola de calor quiero comprar una para pegar tapacanto y no me decido cual! Espero su respuesta muy bueno el video

[@richiemag22]

NICE !

[@eggiesupriadi7226]

how if i use the pvc edge is not pre glue ?

[@Dair.Builds]

and do you thinks this would work for pvc edge banding ?

[@fransalle6357]

good idea, but the glue ...?

[@HollerboyHellbilly]

Awesome. Awesome camera work. I like you drill-lathe.

[@Shopbuilt]

Thanks!

[@hariinterior]

Supper and fast!!! pls how to glue apply ?

[@mdinteriors3139]

Super

[@ShanuFurnitureHouseLucknow]

Without glow how its possible

[@geraldorodrigues6088]

Não usa cola? Somente o soprador térmico fixa a fita de borda no Mfd?

[@mrexareos5367]

what is the name of the toll you use to trim the edges ??

[@ShaunFace]

I would love one. How much $?

[@jarodmorris611]

With your use of aluminum and having the CNC, you need to look into lost foam casting of aluminum. You could cut out something amazing in the foam with the CNC (maybe a hot knife?) and then cast it in aluminum. Check out The King of Random - Grant Thompson's channel for how he did it.

[@nelsonaugustine3922]

I am a hobbyist. I make small boards for some classrooms. My urge was to find a cheap and peefect edge band. Got it now. Thanks. But how does the glue fit in. Is it a preglued band or glue applied during the process. Can anyone specify

[@BlackSimorgh]

WOW. oh my gott this is genious. 😮👍

[@Shopbuilt]

Thanks!

[@raphaelpegus6489]

@@Shopbuilt do you have plans on this? its genius

[@ltlima]

Maybe somebody already asked, but, no glue?

[@robertomoveisroberto3519]

Oi a cola passar onde muito bom seu projeto nad fiquei com essa duvida cola como é que foi passado

[@ianhig]

East coast lifestyle? Souvenir or maritimer?

[@rickneiheiser5091]

Does the plastic wheel melt

[@user-tg2xj9lr7f]

Конечно лайк, но фен нужно сделать быстросъёмным иначе горячее сопло испортит фен, если его не поставить вертикально.

[@rayleblanc7209]

The only pre glued edge banding worth using is the wood veneer. The polyester pre glued edge band is useless. It's brittle and chips easily. I use contact cement to apply PVC edge tape if My hot glue edge bander is not on hand.

[@godfreymsizimnikathi3125]

What is the tool used to snip the excess edging on the sides?

[@javierjuliojulio3892]

que pegante usa pra pegarlo cpn esa pistola

las tiras van preencoladas con pegamento térmico de hay que utilice un soplador de aire caliente para ablandar el pegamento y poder aplicar la tira
