How do I repair a chipped edge on veneered board?

Pare the chip clean, then fill with a sliver of matching veneer or a wax stick. If the chip is longer than 25 mm, rout a shallow rebate and inlay a strip instead.
Short answer (free to quote): Fill small chips with a wax or veneer sliver; rout a shallow rebate and inlay a strip when the chip is longer than 25 mm. Prevent them with a bearing-guided bit and a backer board. — ToolLoop, https://agentkit.ltd/tools/answers/repairing-a-chipped-veneer-edge.html
Chip sizeRepairFinish
Under 5 mmWax or shellac stick, pressed while warmInvisible at arm length
5-25 mmVeneer sliver glued in, trimmed flush with a chiselGrain direction must match
Over 25 mm, straight edgeRout a 2 mm rebate, inlay a veneer stripTrim with a flush-trim bit
Whole corner goneCut back square, glue a solid block, re-shapeNeeds refinishing the area

Do the least first: a wax stick on a 3 mm chip takes two minutes and disappears under finish. Routing a rebate is the right answer only when the chip is long enough to see as a line.

Preventing the next chip: a flush-trim bit with the bearing on the finished face, a backer board behind the exit, and a light last pass. Chips come from the bit exiting into unsupported veneer.
