Happy New Year

The attached photo was provided by the designer...I’m trying to figure out the best way to edgeband the chamfered edge.
I’ve done a sample with a caul, paper backed veneer and titebond 2 with decent results. Just feel like there’s gotta be a better way. Any thoughts?

It depends. Are you veneering your own faces? If so, the way I have done it in the past is to have a 3/4" piece of solid on the top edge, veneer it, cut the chamfer and finally band the edges to hide the end grain solid. Otherwise, I think you are pretty much on the right track.

Thanks for the reply ex-pat. I’m not veneering my own panels...Using veneer plywood, edgebanding 3 sides on the bander then cutting chamfer.
I really don’t like contact cement but may make a sample using it. Clamping with the caul is a pain in the butt

Jerry Peifer:

You don't state how many lineal feet of this you need to do. If it were me, I would edgeband all four sides on the bander, cut the chamfer, take some iron-on edgebanding and iron it to the chamfer, create a flush cutting jig for the table saw to cut the excess banding off of the chamfer that meets the edge, use an edging flush cut tool or a flush cut router setup to cut excess banding off of the chamfer that meets the face. Sand flush, and you are done.

For pre-veneered material, you could cut a rabbet into the material, leaving about 1/16" of the face, glue a solid piece into the rabbet, edgeband and then chamfer. That is a lot of glueup, though, and the core material that would show on the short edge may not be acceptable to the designer.

For what its worth.

Sorry, I missed the caul part in the original post. I think Tony's method is about as good as it gets. If iron on edge tape isn't available, brush on some yellow glue on the back of your veneer, let it tack up and then iron it on. I would avoid contact cement. I really don't think it would stand up to the stresses involved seeing as how it is a finger pull. As much of a pain it is going to be to do it once, doing again after it is installed will be worse.

Footage definitely an issue but my tact would be to scrap banding the bevel. Apply a wide enough solid wood edge to the ply, cut to size. Band the three square edges in the bander, and rip the bevel on the saw on the solid wood edge and be done.

I don’t know the exact footage but it’s a large house with this finger pull detail everywhere.... so it’s quite a bit.

If you zoom in on the photo, it’s pretty clear that there’s no seam where the chamfer meets the flat spot so i don t think any of the solid wood ideas work. It definitely looks like one continuous piece of veneer...
Really appreciate all the input

I don't know the minimum order but it looks similar to this company, maybe buy lengths and then cut and edge.
