Use this workshop calculation to turn measured dimensions and the selected construction convention into a cut, spacing, fit, or material-planning value.

Panel Count

Required integer input.

Edges Per Panel

Required number input.

Edge Length Meters (m)

Required number input.

Total edge-banding length from count of identical panels and number and length of edges banded on each panel. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Banding Meters (m)

The resulting banding meters returned as a number.

• Nominal dimensions, kerf, moisture movement, hardware clearances, wall squareness, and manufacturer instructions can change the required shop dimension. Measure the actual assembly and test critical joints on scrap before cutting finished material.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Complement the calculated dimension with a physical story stick, dry fit, or full-size layout. Follow the hardware, coating, adhesive, or machine manufacturer's limits where they differ from a rule of thumb.

• Edge Banding Length

  Sum exposed panel edges and add an explicit allowance for trimming and waste.

• Edge Banding Trim Allowance

  Calculate total edge-banding width to trim and the equal amount per face when strip is centered on a panel.

• Kanten Anleimer Ueberstand 1mm Fraesen

  Edge-banding width needed for a panel thickness with 1 mm trimming overhang on both faces.
