This tool takes some getting used to. I used it on my first ever banding job, using heat-activated-adhesive red oak banding on a cabinet I built. I tried the tool out on some edges that won't be in view to practice - I recommend you do the same :-). My first efforts were not pretty, but I got better at it. I recommend watching the videos on the manufacturer's web site - while there are no instructions for the tool printed on the package, the web site videos are quite informative. The URL for the Fastcap web site is printed on the packaging - you have to navigate to the part of the site that talks about this tool. It is worth the effort. The videos show how to use the tool on both wood veneer and plastic edging.It turns out you can take the tool apart and use it on a single edge at a time. You just pull it apart, separating the pneumatic plungers from their cylinders. The plungers act as springs if you have both jaws connected. Using one jaw was a nice feature for me as I had some clearance issues and could not slide the tool along with both jaws in place.I used an abrasive drywall "sponge" sander to clean up the banding edges. Sharp sewing scissors worked pretty well for trimming the ends of the banding. The company that makes this tool also makes banding cutters and an edge sanding device. I might consider buying the cutters, but the sponge sander was more than adequate. I used a laundry iron I bought at a junk shop to apply the edging.Anyway, the tools works well and I look forward to other cabinetry jobs using it.

This product does a pretty good job at cleaning up the edges for glued on edge banding. It can't into any corners and sometimes it may tear a little bit instead of cutting. However, the tearing could have been from my not knowing exactly how to use the tool. I think the product is overpriced for what it does, but if you have a lot of edge banding to trim, then it will save you a lot of time!

I have to edge band about 20 kitchen cabinet drawers that I'm making (honey do list) and I'm using 3/4" edge banding for 5/8" baltic birch plywood. I did some research online and discovered that there's normal steel blades for the edge trimmers that wear out quickly and then there's carbide blades that don't trim as well to begin with as the steel blades, but they last 5 times longer. Being a woodworker for over 30 years, I typically go for carbide blades over steel ones anyway, so I ordered this edge trimmer that came with the more expensive carbide blades.I've only completed edging 2 drawers and this trimmer works well in my opinion. Some people use razor blades, but I don't think I could do a proper job with just a razor blade, plus it'd take me a lot longer to finish the job. This tool makes the job very simple and error proof. The only problem that I could imagine is if you didn't press the two sides together enough while trimming the veneer, you would have an uneven edge. A second pass would fix that issue.

Does a great job at trimming edge banding flush efficiently and effectively. Can tear at the very edges a tiny bit of you're going against the grain on Maple, but in general it has been excellent and made life real easy for me. Can even trim around large radiuses effectively.

Recently built some cabinets that required edge banding. Have not really done much edge banding, so this was also a learning project. This design seems to be the most common, so many companies selling the same thing.It works pretty well, simple design and use. Slides along the board just fine and trims off the excess. Smooth enough action. Cuts just fine. Well sort of...Sadly, As other reviewers have mentioned, this tool randomly takes out small slivers of banding. Not big chunks, but just enough to see. Granted, other people probably won't notice, but I know they are there, bugs me. I read reviews and some people said to they did a light cut, then went back and did a final cut. I tried that a few times and still I got random slivers taken out.While it works, I don't think I will be using this often. I just got a single side quality cutter, I'll be trying that out.I like most fastcap stuff, have a bunch of their tools, but not thrilled about this one.

This edge banding trimmer is invaluable for PVC banding. Works substantially better that the ones we used to buy at the local hardware store. Just finished a project with 600' of banding and this unit worked very well. The secret is to make sure the unit is seated properly on the edge before sliding and only go one way, no back and forth motion. The carbide blades should last a long time. The unit is expensive for what it is, but It made the job go so much quicker.

Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Good idea to try it on scrap first. Too much pressure and the blades will mar the faces of the work.

I have used many types and always reverted back to a utility knife or sharp chisel and this works the best.It is smooth and trims nice and close with little work after.

Can just do 1 mm abs edging if warm up material. Excellent on .5mm material would recommend
