In short, it’s the process of applying edge banding tape to the exposed edges of plywood, MDF, or particleboard. These edges are often rough, unattractive, and vulnerable to moisture or damage. Edge banding provides a protective and decorative finish that matches the panel’s top surface, giving the final product a cleaner, more professional look.
A sliding table saw (also known as a panel saw or slider) is a type of circular saw where the blade is fixed in place, and the workpiece is moved through the cut on a sliding carriage that rides on precision rails. This is the opposite of a traditional cabinet saw, where the workpiece is stationary, and the blade is pushed forward on a trunnion.
