Veneer Edge Trimmer, Edge Banding Cutter Plastic PVC Plywood Melamine Wood Manual Edge Banding Machine Trimming Woodworking Tool

Perfect for cleaning up the edges

I had a lot of trouble getting this tool to work without chipping, scraping, and roughing up the face of the boards I applied veneer to. I finally decided to adjust the razor blades, and magically the tool works perfect. Unfortunately the blades were set to deep right out of the box. It works like a champ now that I have it adjusted properly, but I could have just as easily used and exacto knife and sand paper.

I have used it on oak edge banding of 3/4-inch plywood. It works well where it can reach, and does particularly well if you have a single edge with no obstructions. But if you are doing it on an assembled piece, such as a bookshelf or (as in my case) kitchen cabinets, the cut will start and end more than 2" from the cross piece, and you need to use a razor or utility knife to finish the rest. It can grip an edge as thick as 1-1/4", but for anything more than that, you would have to separate the two halves (don't lose the springs!) and run it along one edge at a time. Separating is easy, as the two piece just pull apart effortlessly, but that also means that the two halves could easily come apart in a tool drawer, and the two springs find drop out. So although I'm glad I bought it, it is pretty much useless if I'm working a short piece of an assembled shelf. Oh, and it comes with replacement blades, which is great, but the challenge is to put the replacement blades where you can find them, as they are not stored inside the trimmer, but come in a little plastic wrapping.

I'm not sure if some of the people in other reviews are using this in the correct manner. For the life of me i cannot imagine why someone would want a chamfer on an piece of edge banded plywood. I ordered this dispite the reviews and just loosened the screws for the chamfer blades and slid them out some so they wouldnt contact the work piece. This product works as it should and is priced accordingly in my opinion. If you're trying to "ease the edge" for painting purposes...just run a sanding block or round sander or hand plane down the corner at about a 45 degree angle. If its good enough for my custom cabinetry business it will exceed your expections for a DIY project. Literally paid for its self on the first use!

I’m new to working with veneer and was trying to veneer a shelf and a large built in tv stand that had some water damage on. I figured these would help me get the clean edges I needed. Waste of money. No instructions and even after fiddling with it, adjusting the blades and trying to practice I couldn’t get this thing to cut my paper backed veneer. Ended up using a cheap long blade exacto knife, a cutting mat and some weights to hold everything in place. Worked perfectly. This was a waste of money plus the delivery fee and the time I spent waiting for it. Do Not buy.

I bought the more available yellow banding cutter from a local box store, which is really a pain to use. After finding this on Amazon, I thought, "Why not?" I'm glad I did. It is immensely easier!! Just squeeze the sides firmly and run it down the piece. I get a nice even cut each time. I did find that there can be some spots that may seem a little rough. I find this is more from the banding glue than the cutter or banding. I just lightly rub down the sides with a fine sanding block, and it is ready to go. Looks like a commercial finish, and I'm just an amateur!

I tried being cheap and used a razor to cut away excess veneer but I couldn't get a clean cut and it looked terrible. Should have bought this from the beginning. The only disappointment was that you could cut all the way to the end/corner. Definitely need to veneer and clean up the veneer before attaching pieces. Comes with several extra blades

Has trouble trimming thicker vinyl edge banding

Worked great even on countertop veneer
