Hi, yes we have had an edge bander for ages however its only good enough for straight and curves of certain radii. A lot of our furniture is curved and notched to be a spot on fit into the van. The edge bander wouldn’t touch these small details so we tend not to use it often. We use birch ply which allows all the details with a great oiled edge finish. You will often see conversions with back panels on, this makes fitting easier as you can do away with the fitted curves, however you lose space in the cupboards…. Also the use of edge banders drive the furniture design so many conversions look the same. That said, we will use it more in the future our flatpack kits.Ah, so you have an edgebanding machine, interesting.
I will probably be looking for some replacement cupboard doors sometime next year as I have managed to damage a couple of mine and really want to avoid knock-on trim.
Cheers,
Ian
