Edging calculator
Edging goes into the quote and into the cutting size. Here is how to work out the metres a job needs and when to deduct the edging thickness, or let Verneer add it all up.
Metres of edging: the maths
For each panel add up the edged sides, multiply by the quantity and add everything up. Allow 5 to 10% extra for trimmed ends and the edgebander. Example: 6 shelves of 760 × 300 mm edged on the front use 4.56 m, about 5 m with the allowance.
When to deduct edging from the cutting size
Thin 0.4 mm edging is usually not deducted. 1 to 2 mm edging grows the panel: a 720 mm side with 2 mm edging on both ends ends up 724 mm. In Verneer you mark each side as deducted or not and the cutting size is corrected on the plan and label.
What Verneer does with edging
- Edging per side, in different colours and thicknesses
- Thickness deducted from the cutting size
- Total metres per type in the summary
- Edged sides marked on the drawing and labels

Edging questions
How much extra edging should I allow?
5 to 10% on top of the total, for trimmed ends and setting up the edgebander.
Does Verneer total the edging by colour?
Yes. The summary shows the metres of each edging you set up.
