   If you have the right blade it is good idea.
   If call you local cabinet lumber supplier, they have companys you can order the laminated panels. If they do not to large of a minium its hard to beat there price

   *I have done them a number of different ways. The shop i used to work for put the plam on the back side then the edges and the face last. Takes alot of time this way. Putting the edges on then the faces is a little quicker. ( if you have a wide belt sander you can put the edges on then run through to flush edges before applying faces). The slow part of these techniques is you have to cut the pieces and then laminate. Go to a company that laminates panels and buy them pre-bonded 2 sides with the laminate and then cut and cover the edges. The main difference with the first two ways is the dark line of the plam edge is not as noticable as putting the edges on last.

   *The edge pieces are also a lot more vulnerable if they go on last....but it's time consuming to do them first (that's the way I do it...edges, then skins). The big shops all have edgebanders, that's why they do them that why.Why laminating on to ply, or is this some special product? Generally not a good idea.

   *To get a clean unfrayed cut use a saw with a scoring blade. I don't have one so I first run the panel thru with the blade up just a fraction to score it. Then I raise the blade & recut it. Leaves a very clean cut.

   Okay here the deal. I need to make twenty five plam doors covered both sides on 3/4 nova ply. I was thinking about laminating sheets of nova ply and then cutting the doors to size and adding edgebanding. What do you think?
