Narrow Plate Guide Press Wheel Set For Edgebanding Machine

Product Description

Running narrow strips through an edgebander is where boards tip, drift off the fence and come out with a glue line that steps. This set handles both jobs at once: a 181 mm grey bracket carrying two 49 mm press rollers holds the panel down, and an 89 x 88 mm blue block with four guide rollers keeps it against the fence. Both mount through 90 mm slots, so height and reach adjust to your rail. Rubber / PU wheels, blue and grey, four bolts included.

A shop that runs narrow panels through an edgebander hits three problems: strips too narrow to sit flat on the chain, a guide set for a full-width panel that will not come close to a 50 mm side, and a press point that lands only where the wide boards are, so the narrow one lifts. This set takes all three off the list.

It is a two-piece guide and press wheel set. The tall grey bracket measures 181 mm long, 74 mm wide and 8 mm thick, and carries two press rollers of 49 mm diameter and 13 mm width. The blue block measures 89 x 88 mm and carries four small guide rollers. One piece pushes the panel down; the other holds it against the fence.

Both pieces mount through elongated slots rather than fixed holes: the grey bracket carries two slots 90 mm long and 9.5 mm wide, and the blue block carries two of its own. That travel lets one set be positioned for different panel heights and rail spacing instead of being drilled once.

Press wheels are rubber / PU, supplied blue and grey, and the set arrives with four hex-socket bolts, nuts and washers. Nothing has to be machined first, so a narrow-panel job runs on the machine already on the floor, on the same shift, with no fixture to build.

Product Features

Nine details decide whether a guide set stays bolted to the machine or ends up back in the drawer.

• 181 mm of stand-off — the grey bracket is 181 mm tall, so the rollers can sit above the panel line instead of level with the chain.
• Two press rollers, 49 mm each — 49 mm diameter and 13 mm width per roller, both mounted on the same 8 mm plate.
• 90 mm of travel per slot — two slots 90 mm long and 9.5 mm wide set the position with a bolt, not with a drill.
• Four guide rollers on the blue block — the 89 x 88 mm block runs four small bearing-mounted rollers against the panel edge.
• Rubber / PU wheel faces — press wheels are rubber or PU, so the panel meets a compliant face, not steel.
• 8 mm bracket plate — the grey plate is 8 mm thick, enough to carry two rollers across 74 mm without a gusset.
• Bolts in the box — four hex-socket bolts with nuts and washers ship with the set.
• Two colours, two jobs — blue is the guide side and grey is the press side, so the pieces do not get swapped at refit.
• Compact envelope — the pair fits in about 181 x 89 mm, so a spare set is not a storage problem.

Product Advantages

The choice on a narrow-panel run is usually between slowing the machine down and building a fixture. This set is the third option.

• Narrow panels stop lifting. Two 49 mm press rollers land on the top face, so a 50 mm strip is held down at the point where it used to rise.
• The fence does the steering. Four guide rollers on the 89 mm block keep the panel against the fence, so the operator feeds the board instead of correcting it.
• No fixture to build. 90 mm slots on both pieces mean height and reach come from a bolt, not from a machined bracket or a welded arm.
• One set covers guide and press. A change of panel width or thickness is a slot adjustment across 90 mm, not a second purchase.
• The wheel wears, not the assembly. Press faces are rubber / PU on separately mounted 49 mm rollers, so a worn wheel comes off with the bolt through its centre.
• Back on the line the same shift. Four bolts, two slots and no machining: the set goes on the rail that is already on the machine.
• Spare stock is not a capital decision. A set sits inside about 181 x 89 mm and a 49 mm wheel is the only wearing part, so the shelf holds what the machine actually consumes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this set fit my edgebander?

Yes, if your machine's guide bar takes bolted accessories. Both pieces are fixed through slots 90 mm long and 9.5 mm wide, so the bolt positions are adjustable over 90 mm of travel instead of being locked to one hole spacing.

What size is the set?

Two brackets: a grey one at 181 x 74 x 8 mm and a blue one at 89 x 88 mm. The two press rollers on the grey bracket are 49 mm in diameter and 13 mm wide, and the blue block carries four small guide rollers.

Can I run wide panels with it as well?

It is set up for narrow panels, not for full-width boards. The 181 mm stand-off and the 49 mm rollers are sized to reach a strip that a full-width guide leaves uncovered, and the blue block is what keeps that strip against the fence.

Will the press wheels mark the panel face?

No metal touches the panel: the press face is rubber / PU. Both press rollers run on a compliant wheel 49 mm across and 13 mm wide, and the four guide rollers touch the panel edge, not the face.

How do I set the height and reach?

With the bolts and the slots, no machining. Both pieces carry slots 90 mm long and 9.5 mm wide, so loosening the bolts gives 90 mm of travel and the setting is held again when they are tightened.

Are the mounting bolts included?

Yes. Four hex-socket bolts with nuts and washers come with the set. That is enough to fix the 181 x 74 mm grey bracket and the 89 x 88 mm blue block.

What do I do when a roller wears?

Replace the roller and keep the bracket. Each wheel is held by a bolt or screw through its centre, so a worn 49 mm press roller or a small guide roller comes off on its own.

How do I get a price?

Ask for a quote against the quantity you need. Send the quantity and the panel widths you run, and the figure comes back against that order; there is no fixed list price on this page.
