I just did this today and wish I had that yellow cutter. I used a palm router with 1/8" round over and finished with a fine grit palm sander

Dude. I started coughing just watching you cut that stuff with no respirator.

[@arnelllano1237]

Using a screw driver instead of sandpaper is what I will do from now on...Thank you...

Looks great. I was just in ikea in Dublin Ireland looking at their worktops and the edbacken looked terribly installed!! Corners not edged properly, joins were terrible etc!

grymt snyggt jobbat

[@dilligaf2386]

Does tape really stop the laminate from chipping up when cutting with a skill saw thought you had to turn the worktop upside down. I need one of those yellow cutting tools

[@416pp]

It does all around

How did you get the extra piece to cover the wood edges

[@1Subcooling]

Holy 1990s Batman...

[@Sylnce]

what type of substance did you use to stick the edging to the wood? and also what are some other substitutes i could use?

[@michael_w]

He used contact cement (also called contact adhesive). I wouldn't recommend much else because this adhesive activates when the two faces are brought together and pressure is applied. Most other adhesives I can think of require time to cure which isn't ideal for edge banding.

What type of edge ?

[@chookchack]

Are they providing you with that neon tool?

[@2o3ief]

no, its called an edge band trimmer, like $10

[@ninjanana]

Whats that edge cutting tool called

[@pachenet]

I need to get that cutter. I messed up some edges, does Ikea sell those apart from the counter tops?

[@genghis_connie]

Would cutting like this work with old laminate/pressed wood countertops?
I think keeping a straight line might be impossible. Maybe adding the edge bands and filling the gaps with wood glue after cutting?
I always feel like my projects are from the mind of Frankenstein!
