Edgebanding
I'd like to hear how some of you guys are set up for edgebanding after your peices are cut like how you mark which peice needs which tape...
We just put a line with a marker on the edge that needs tape, but i was thinking maybe thermwood could modify their labels and add a \"tape edge\" on the label itself where the operator could identify the edge that needs tape. Just to try to simplify things even more since edgebanding isn't a \"career\" that people enjoy, it has to be a user friendly task where anyone can do.

Brian, yes it is simple for the blind dado setup, however there are still the ajustable shelves...for example, an ajustable shelf for an upper 12\" would be roughly 10 7/8\"x10 3/4\" this can be very confusing for a newbie. Keep in mind, i'm trying to setup a foolproof way of making edgebanding easy enough for anyone to do, skilled or not, since we are not a small neither big shop, we have about 10 employees but they all have their tasks to do so we pretty much need a guy to do edgebanding almost all the time.
Forrest, your in a great position since your guys know what their doing, we sort of have a hard time keeping all our guys, some of em just quit without notice but it's good to be ready and have a backup plan if some of those skilled guys leave, I think edgebanding should be the easiest task anyone could do. I just hope thermwood can integrate it in their next update.
