Edge knife for quick processing of laminated chipboard



Hello friends! I want to recommend you do edge knife for processing the edges of laminated chipboard. With it, you can easily and quickly do perfectly flat edge on chipboard. This unique tool is useful to any master!

Many make various chipboard furniture - shelves, tables, cabinets. And after sawing the material to the edge with the help of an iron, an edge tape is glued.


The width of the edge tape is always slightly wider than the chipboard itself and therefore the excess edge is usually cut with a construction knife.

And it often happens when cutting edges, the knife cuts directly into the "meat".

This greatly spoils the appearance of the part, and if the edge is glued to the countertop, it is processed even harder - the edge for the countertop is thicker and denser. But you can make a perfectly smooth edge very quickly and easily. To do this, do edge knife.

And to make it very simple from just two small scraps of the same chipboard in just 5 minutes.

What will be needed for manufacturing edge knife:
1. Two small chipboard trim.
2. Two screws.
3. 1 blade for a construction knife.

You will need tools:
Pencil, Ruler, 3mm Drill and Drill, Screwdriver

So let's get started. On a small chipboard trim, draw a line 10mm from the edge.

And drill a 3mm drill on this line 2 holes. The distance between the holes is 50mm.

A small piece of chipboard is superimposed on a slightly larger chipboard with a rotation of 110 - 120 degrees.

Self-tapping screws are inserted into the holes and twisted all the way, while two chipboard trimming should be tightly compressed.

Now you need to loosen the screws by one revolution, so that a small gap appears between the chipboard. Insert the blade into it with the edge outward so that the nose of the blade protrudes by 3 mm.


When the blade is exposed, tighten the screws firmly. All! The edge cutter is ready.

The cutter works on the principle of a planer. Only he does not plan a plane, like a plane, but cuts off the edge. Passing such a knife along the end, the excessively protruding edge is cut quickly and perfectly evenly.


Such a tool significantly speeds up the work and improves its quality. When working with chipboard, such an edge knife is an indispensable tool. If you still have questions about making an edging knife, you can see the manufacturing process in my video.

I recommend to do this edge knife and store it with tools, it takes up little space, but if you need to make a high-quality edge, it will be enough only to screw a new blade and the tool is ready to work.

I wish you all success!

Vidosik looked at the end of the article. Everything is more than clear. Fun as a knife cuts the edge. Narmulok.
Max
Good notion. Now it’s not necessary yet, but saved the page.
Guest Rashid
Here! Finally found! I remember seeing somewhere briefly, and where I forgot. I wanted to make a cutter, but how to fold it and how to slip the blade, but how could I not remember. Miraculously, this site is found. yahoo yahoo yahoo
Guest Vitaliy
I did not wait for the weekend, I made myself such a cutter. Just a song! Happy as an elephant.
Guest Valery
Always cut with a knife. I was interested in such a tool. I'll make myself so. thanks
Misha
Guest VictorFeels like a pro.
Guest Semyon
Useful tool.
Quote: Guest Dima
Here the knife cuts at an angle not of 90, but 120 degrees

Is it ??? The cut angle is 120 degrees, relative to the plane of the edge?))))
P.S. In this aspect, I do not consider the angle of attack of the knife! Only cut angle! Is it really not clear?
Very simple thing, well done! And you did not think to do a double blade? That is, add another blade and a piece of chipboard to the rail, on the other hand. It will be possible to cut two edges at once. It would be nice to have this whole structure fastened to the lamb bolts - for a quick change of blades. The fact is that, on knives, clots of glue gradually form, which need to be cleaned (I know from experience). THX.

Well done Master!
Guest Dima
Valery,
Here the knife cuts at an angle of not 120, but 120 degrees. As if pressing the edge to the material. Everything is clearly visible in the video.

The notion is great. You need to make such a knife yourself.
Guest Victor
You probably work in the manufacture of furniture. A competent knife.
David
You need to make such cutters for sale. For a reasonable price they will be like hot cakes!
Borya Chernykh
Yes, you are a true master. Offset!
Abesalon
Thank you dear. Well thought up.
Guest Eugene
One feels that the person is experienced. Good advice. Need to remember.
The video shows very clearly how the excess edge is cut off. The trimmings are perfectly flat, which means the edge itself is also perfectly flat.
Guest Yuri
He has been manufacturing furniture for many years. It is better to cut the edge with the REVERSE (dull) side of the blade of the breadboard knife - both the stop and the replaceable blade

Kirill-sev,
Really !! in this case, the “old people” will not teach bad - because this is the experience of cutting many kilometers of the edge and where volume + speed + quality is needed.
And the angle of 90 degrees confuses me a little. I’m never a furniture maker. It’s easy, I’ve done it for myself. (Kitchen, chest of drawers, and even the little things ....) Therefore, I do not insist, I can be wrong.But, I remember that I cut it for the first time at a right angle, then I had to correct it. Because, if you stretch across the edge with your pressed finger, you could peel it off. Therefore, I cut about 60 degrees to the end. (Not ... not right, probably. Not to the end, but to the plane. To the end 40 will be))). So already normal. Particleboard did not catch even once. Somehow I didn’t notice such a danger - the knife is wide enough, and when you cut it, look after the retreating knife, make sure that it is pressed all the way down ...
Guest Vitaliy
Very handy. At the weekend, I’m just going to make a table. I'll try your knife. Then I will unsubscribe what and how.
Kostya Bukov
Useful little thing. Tomorrow I will tell the guys at work. Let's do it. Such a knife is very useful to us. Thanks to the author from our team.
Guest Grandfather
Traveling tool. But at the expense of the angle (comments from Ivan Pokhmelev), I think that it is impossible to do more than 140 degrees. Will jam over the edge. Therefore, from 110 to 140 is probably the best angle. ok ya_za
Good tool! But his angle is not 110 - 120 degrees, but at least 140 °.
And further. It is probably better to place the cutting point closer to the middle of the lower piece so that the likelihood of the tool coming off the straight path before cutting ends is less. But it is, a minor improvement, not even nit-picking.;)
Guest Vladimir Ivanovich
I wanted to buy a knife for the edge in the store. So nothing at all. Even the Chinese on Ali do not offer anything. I watched for a long time. And you have a decent idea and repeat is not difficult. I will do it. The work is very useful. Thanks.
Guest Sergey
Fine. I'm taking it. Useful.
Vadik Special
Hmmm. Putyovo.
Vitek
I saw something similar, but more complex construction. This cutter will be better. I think so, the simpler the better.
Guest Anatoly
I agree. Good tool. An ordinary knife doesn’t cut the edge. Believe me. I also liked that you can just do it, this is a big plus. Judging by the smooth edge trimming, the edge itself is of decent quality. I take to the piggy bank.
Where you were two days ago, glued and cut edges for half a day ... (Sorry for the familiar yes )
Forgive me, the author may work in this home-made work, but after such cutting along the ends, you still have to walk with a bar with sandpaper, otherwise it can cling. It is much easier to just take a sharpened knife not sharply from it: then it cannot damage the chipboard itself, and it will be enough for the paper edge. Plus cut them from yourself, and then everything will be ok. It’s not I who are smart, but the old furniture assemblers taught me at one time.
Guest Vitaliy
Excellent! I will do it. We have to work with the edge of the chipboard. A very necessary fixture.
