Installing a brand new Homag edge bander!

New machine month! 

We’re always working hard to improve our service and the quality of the products we send out, so this month we’re very excited to have installed a brand new Homag S300 edge bander in the Cutlist workshops. 

What does this change for our customers?

We strive to achieve the very best edge banding results on all sheet materials and with this machine, the output is stunning. The tightest glue lines and smoothest edging is produced, panel after panel. The method for glue application ensures a durable bond for the lifetime of the panel. 

All of the benefits, without the catch, as we're holding the same great edge banding prices we've always had. 

What is so good about this machine?

For our customers this machine represents a new level of quality whichever edge banding they choose. Visibly appealing, tactile and strong adhesion, every edge is sure to stand the rigors of a lifetime in service.

For our workshop team there are many benefits, not least the computer-controlled programming. The touch screen allows our machinists to program the machine for any edge and with millimetre precision. Quick to set and easy to use, this new level of efficiency allows us to offer edge banding services at competitive prices.

We’re already blown away with the results!

Frequently asked questions

Q:       Which panel thicknesses can I edge?

A:       This new machine will edge boards between 8mm and 60mm thick

Q:       What is the minimum width panel you can edge?

A:      This depends on the full detail because there are some tricks we can use but we can edge one long edge at 40mm wide (we can trim the part to finished size after edging) but if you want two long edges taped, the minimum width is 75mm. The shortest length the machine can edge is 145mm. If you want a part edged all-round, the minimum is 145 x 145.

Q;       Can I choose 1mm and 2mm edge banding on my boards?

A:       Yes, you have the choice to have 1mm square edge where the arris has been removed, or 2mm with either square or with a radius. The 2mm is very popular on most furniture as it is more durable and tactile. Some board decors only support 1mm edging, Xylocleaf and some Egger decors, speak to our team for more information. 

Q:       What type of glue do you use?

A:       We are currently offering EVA glue which is giving superb results, but this machine will also support PUR glue which maybe an option for our customers in the near future.
