Does anyone use one of those fancy two sided trimmers for edge banding?
I've seen pricier ones in the catalogs and wonder if they are worth the money. A while back I bought one of the single sided cheapos and yes...you get what you pay for. The edge on the cutting blade was the equivalent of the built in sharpener on a box of Crayolas..:furious:
I learned early on how to keep a good edge on a chisel and trim the banding with that. But I do get tired and lose focus sometimes and suddenly I've just lifted and nice piece of veneer off my plywood.
I have a bunch of walnut ply that I need to edge band soon, and really don't want to (can't afford to) mar the surface, but would like to cut some labor time down.
