I need to make door and draws with an odd edge profile. As you can't take MDF doors to the part editor, I use slab doors and edge in part editor. Problem is the edge banding. Is there a way to not show banding on slab doors (tried banding stock 0mm but still shows) or make it clear so you can't see it?

Re: Slab door banding
Hey Steven, I was able to create a cabinet with doors made from stretchers. You can profile the doors,and re-size the cab. Unfortunately, it's not a door. So it won't retain the properties that a door would, (hinge patterns, etc). But for demonstration and sizing, it will work. Hope this helps.

Re: Slab door banding
I'm probably missing something here but can't you select a slab door and then choose no banding from the drop down menu?

Re: Slab door banding
Thanks Rick, there are a number of ways to make doors but i was hoping to keep it as a door.
Jason i don’t have that option. IF there is somewhere you can do that, that’s what I’m looking for.

Re: Slab door banding
Steven,
Choose the MDF Drawer Front option and choose your chamfer tool for the exterior tool and none for the interior profile tool.

Re: Slab door banding
Problem is it’s a different profile on the top compared to the other 3 sides.
