Flush Triming Edgebanding on Router Table

[johnny means]

Plus 1 on Johns tall fence with the relief at the bottom. It's pretty much foolproof and works with any bit.

How do you run an 8' panel on that?

I have the smaller Festool router system for trimming .. MKF 700 ... Works quite well ..

And as I said earlier, what if the plywood has a slight bend in it? The method you suggest works great on paper in an ideal world.

That is the method I use in my professional shop. A couple of feather boards will handle bowed plywood.

I use the same method and for long panels I just set up some in-feed and out-feed stands.

I'm on a project where I have just broke down my 45th sheet of 3/4" walnut. Your method wouldn't have lasted a day. Many panels are 8' long and 2' wide.

But I'm going to archive your picture for smaller panels.

I'm very surprised no one as made a single comment on the method I posted. In another forum we actually worked out the details of the build. I tried all the other systems and none compare to the speed, accuracy, versatility and quality of this method. Not to mention it was cheap and very easy to build.

Anyone up for a challenge that leads to making a believer out of you?

I would have to disagree with you there since that is the way I have been doing it for the last six years when I have a lot of panels to flush trim. But, I have used the set up you posted when dealing with large panels. My method can still be done on the router table even with large panels but I think your method is very good!!!

Sorry, I was in the middle of responding to your last post. I think your way is a very efficient way of flush trimming panels and if you are dealing with as many panels as you had mentioned it would probably be easier to move a router than 3/4" plywood.

Just not with inside corners. Right?

Sounds like fun..... I think we get so use to using a certain set up we sometimes forget about different ways that might actually be better for the situation.

I couldn't be more bored with the job. I have basically used the same method for each closet. Just changed the dimensions. Every thing is stained too. But it's been a money maker.
