Other than these details, which are minor, it will leave a very nice clean edge with minimal effort especially compared to razor blades and slivvers. Wood grain is almost never straight, trimming both sides at the same time with wodd grain veneers will not happen - at least not with desired results. Couple of things.trimming blades were mounted backwards and bevel blades will need to be adjusted. REmove blades from one side to allow you to squeeze the tool or just use one side of the tool and lay board over a flat surface. If you plan on doing any reasonable amount of banding with out going commercial, I would consider it an essential tool. Plan on replacing the blades every roll of banding - 250' (wood banding anyway).
Works great on melamine edge banding. Once the bevel is adjusted, the edge feels very smooth and will not be likely to snag. Trimmed flush right out of the package, but took a little adjustment to get a slight bevel.
I've just started building things for the house, and have loved how easy it is to use hardwood plywood. Big fan. This trimmer makes it easy to put on nice looking matching hardwood edging to my projects, and trim the edging to size in a couple of seconds.
Now that I use this double edge trimmer, the banding comes out clean and sharp. It gave terrible results. A bit of sanding to break the edge and move on to the next one. Nice crisp edge. I used to use the one sided trimmer. It does not follow the grain of the banding as most of you may think. This trimmer is worth every penny. Just keep a consistent, snug squeeze and run it in one swift, quick movement.
Great little tool. I like to cover the edges with banding and this tool is great for making it look smooth and natural. I use a lot of plywood in my little projects.
