Melamine panels and edge banding
Melamine is cut with a scoring blade or a fine-tooth blade to avoid chipping the face. Every visible edge needs edge banding: mark the edges on each part and the total length is calculated, with about 10% extra for trimming.
For wood-look decors, keep the grain in the same direction on doors and sides so the furniture looks right.
