Vinyl or melamine boards with profiled edge

[panelprince]

Hi, I'm looking for a way to produce kitchen drawers with a 45 degree edge, in a melamine or acrylic finish. The worktop will be cut at 45 degrees as well to meet at a point. I usually use Cworkshop for MFC/edgebanding but they can't edge a 45 degree cut.

Any advice would be much appreciated, thankyou.

Surely just iron on banding would do the trick?

You might want to avoid 45 degrees though and do something shallower - 45 is a 45 sharp edge, and will also be weak asking the edge.

Iron-on is an option. I've never been very pleased with the results in the past though.
I've done a similar detail to this before with lipped veneered panels and left a 2mm flat on the edge to take the point off it. So the worktop and drawer don't quite meet at a point but it's close enough, and as you say, more durable.

Sure, that would be better - but you wouldn't be able to veneer that 2mm flat?

I've never used iron on myself, but I believe the best results are from sticking an oversize piece on and then trimming it flush with a laminate trimmer or router
