Method and apparatus for preparing a workpiece and affixing protective and decorative edging, preferably T-edging, to the peripheral edge of the workpiece, the apparatus providing (a) a slotting head for guiding the workpiece in a predetermined orientation and a moving slotting blade for cutting a groove in the peripheral edge of the workpiece; (b) a cutting tool for guiding the displacement of the T-edging, for maintaining the leading end portion of a T-edging in the proper orientation and for selectively, at the election of the operator, notching out a length of the tongue of the T-edging at a well-defined position and/or completely severing the T-edging at a precise location; and (c) a hammer for forcing the tongue of the T-edging into the slot formed in the workpiece, the hammer operating only when displaced from the at rest position by force applied to the workpiece. An indicator provides reference marks which, when aligned with a corner of the workpiece, indicates to an operator when to notch the tongue of the T-edging so that the notch will be properly located at the corner of the workpiece. Similarly, the location of the severed end of the T-edging can be predetermined to eliminate any gap between or overlap of the free ends of the T-edging disposed around the entire periphery of the workpiece.
