How do you trim inlay banding width?
I have purchased some 600 x 3.0 x 1.0 wide inlay banding, but the width varies from 3.0 to 3.4mm.
Can anyone please suggest a neat way to make these strips a uniform 3.0mm width to fit into a 3.0 x 1.0 slot on a box lid? The method needs to be repeatable for other strips in the pack.regards,
Dengy

Ive seen a few versions of this user made tool for that job . You have to chop up a plane for it though. The blade has a scraping action on the wood and its adjustable of course.
The stringing or banding gets pulled through reducing its size.

For just a small run I would be sawing a small rebate in a machined board that is 3mm wide x .9 deep and place the strip of banding in that . Hold it down with another length of wood and sand the overhanging bit or block plane it off .

Hi,
If you have a router, you could sandwich the beading between 2 pieces of timber, to make this work you would need to rebate one piece 3mm x 0.9mm, the 0.9 will allow the bead to be held firm between the 2 pieces of timber (you can screw the 2 pieces together) then you need to use your router with a Flush Trim Router Bit.
I have attached a CAD image of what I am suggesting

Then theres the expensive option Festool OFk700 Festool OFK 700 EQ-Plus Laminate Trimmer with Systainer 574452 or the 500 but you're better off with the previous suggestions.
The above link would only pay for itself if you were doing a lot edge trimming in a big order.Johnno

Hi Dengue. I used to make a lot of banding - tons of it - and my weapon of choice was a desktop guillotine. Just made for paper or cardboard but able to cut 1.0 mm veneer very easily.
I had timber spacers of various widths which controlled the width of the banding. The spacers aligned with router bit sizes - 1mm, 2mm, 2.5mm etc
I had a couple but the preferred one had a double action where it clamped a bar down on the item to be cut as you moved the blade down - holding it firmly in place very near the cut line. I realise you won’t have one of these lying around but it’s something to look out for at markets or garage sales - i paid $5.00 for mine and has been invaluable if you like making detailed things in wood.Apologies for unnoticed autocomplete errors.

In the end, I made a 3.0 mm spacer, and put a clamped a 2” x1” timber fence on the old oscillating bobbin sander with the spacer between the bobbin and the fence. I then pushed each piece of over- width stringing through between the bobbin and the fence, against the rotation of the bobbin.
Caught my fingers against the bobbin a couple of times while holding the stringing down either side as it passed between the bobbin and the fence, but it all worked perfectlyregards,
