What is an Edge Bander Machine ?

An edge bander is a machine used in woodworking to apply a thin strip of material, known as edge banding, to the exposed edges of various wood-based panels, such as plywood, particle board, or MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard).

The purpose of edge banding is to cover the raw edges, making the panels look more aesthetically pleasing and protecting them from damage. Edgebanders can automatically cut the wood’s edge and use adhesive to attach colorful edge strips or other materials, which can also be used for decorative purposes.
