I have a small, but growing rapidly, cabinet and custom wood working shop. I'm doing a job and have to band over 100 shelves and drawer bodies. I really didn't want to do this with an iron so I thought I would give this a try. It seemed to have good comments and it is affordable.

need it but has proven to be not so good thus far when edge banding pre-glued PVC material.

where do I get replacement parts for this machine? need a new pinch roller but there is no part #'s for it...
Chris V on Jun 1, 2016
I recently purchased the maching and noticed the guides do not support bands less than 1" wide. Is there a trick or maybe a guide for this size of band?
Gustavo C on Apr 12, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I have the same machine and typically run 7/8th and 15/16th through it.

I set the bottom guide so there is a slight overhang on underside of the piece I am banding, then I loosen the upper guide, slide the banding in and check to see there is not too much play then tighten the upper guide.

It should work. Good luck.
Do i need glue for this machine?
A shopper on May 2, 2015
BEST ANSWER: No you do not. But you need to buy a pre-glued edge band. The heat gun will melt it and it will adhere to your work piece. Note it takes some practice to adjust the gun temperature and adjustment of the guides. Once you have that set it works fine. It beats banding by hand using an iron.
I hope this helps
I need to be able to edge band rounded edges. Will this machine work?
ewa m on Jun 15, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Yes it will! I usually run it to the hottes temperature just to make sure the glue melts all the way.
When using it if you need to run an extension cord, make sure it is thick, it will get hot...

is this edge bander used for pre-glued edge?
Sohail A on Apr 1, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes. I have used it a lot and found it to be great for single kitchen jobs. It will take you a bit to get used to it especially getting adjustments correct.
Does this table top edge banded work for .5 mm PVC edge tape?
Alicia D on May 6, 2015
BEST ANSWER: yes, as long as it's pre-glued -- just set the temp low enough to not melt the pvc but high enough to melt the glue.
Will this thing do prefinished UV coated edge banding without burning the finish?
Elliott on Feb 24, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes, I use the prefinished Edge banding all the time. I also use colored PVC Edge banding and wood veneer Edge banding
Will this edge bander band a circle, such as a lazy Susan?

I build and finish furniture and...
I build and finish furniture and kitchen cabinets out of a small shop. I recently picked up a kitchen cabinet job that was to be built as a frameless construction. Therefore, I needed an edgebander that was small enough that I could put aside when not in use. I found this edgebander after checking online sites. I have been extremely happy with the quality and ease of this product. It has already paid for itself in the time saved. We used to use an iron.Definitely a good purchase.

I have this machine and used it to make the cabinets in my house. works like a charm. I solved issue by marking a place on the infeed metal plate where when the back edge of the plywood meets it I hit the cutter. Works great. I leave about 1/2 inch on the end for cutting. Found too that mineral spirits will dissolve the excess glue on the guides. Just take them off and soak them overnight. Hope it helps.

I have this machine for a...
I have this machine for a few years. I added a big center hub to better control the roll and moved the little hub to the closest corner to have tighter infeed to the guides with less sideways stress. I want to add. The guides needed fiddling once, since then through different brands of edging I never had issues. The level of heat and speed depend on the brand of PVC I have used. Some go much quicker. I friend of mine with an air machine that works at much lower heats says it depends on the freshness of the PVC/glue. I have never figured out how to use the cutter without losing 4" of edging on every cut, so I use a razor. To the fellow who can only do shelves, if the edging is hot it will stick well even if turned on the table. Or do the top and bottom, trim, and then do the two opposite sides. A great machine overall. Another point I always have to back it up to a wall to stop it from sliding as I press to make sure getting I am good contact.

I've been building a set of about 30 Euro-style cabinets for my home and shop. The instructions on this product were pretty much gibberish, but it's easy to see reason out how things are supposed to work. Most of my initial pain was related to developing the right technique. Next was getting the alignment right. Once those were once that was down, the machine works great. I find the cutter on the machine only useful when finishing a run of panels. I use shears to cut the tape between panels - awkward, but functional.

This machine works good. I removed the cutoff scissors because it wouldn't work right, right out of the box. As far as edgebanding it seems to work as well as the big edgebanders. The preglued tape sticks well once you get the feed timing down. Don't leave the tape in line with the hot air too long though, or the tape will discolor and start to burn. I mounted a pressure feather board above the work pieces to hold larger pieces down. Overall I am pleased with this product. I do high end cabinetry out of my small shop. So far I have had profesional results.

Does not work well at all
I have wasted one roll of oak veneer tape trying to get this thing set up correctly. I was just doing small 2 foot long test pieces and not one would be considered accetable.
Several issues are as follows;
1) The table is not the corrct height so the tape gets a twist and does not feed correctly. It would be better if they had made the height adjustable so the top of the table could be alingned with the lower feed guides.
2) The guides have too much play in them where they mount to the vertical post so again the tape feed is erratic
3) While taping the edges , the tape flexes so most of the time the edge is not totally covered. It would be better if there was a way to shim the guides so the tape would not curl while going through the guides
4) The lack of a ring that matches the center of the spool so the tape does not feed, or gets stuck, etc. Also thee pivot point for the spool is in the wrong location so the tape has to make a sharp bend to feed into the guides.
5) The table for the spool is too small and in wrong location.

I may try to fiddle with this thing to get it to work, or I will just try to get a refund before I mess around with it. Do not expect to take it out of the box and use it without a lot of tinkering.

After reading mixed reviews on tabletop...
After reading mixed reviews on tabletop edge banders I was reluctant to purchase this product. But, I am glad that I did.I am using .018" PVC edge banding, and once I found a comfortable heat setting, I have had no problems. The heat setting determines how fast you can apply the edge banding. I am willing to go a little slower, as not to risk melting the PVC.Overall a very good investment.

If you are using the iron...
If you are using the iron method this one is substantially different - the tape is heated from the glue side and not form the outside. Major difference!Still adjusting the temperature is key. A very confidence inspiring Swiss made heat gun that comes with this machine has to be set to 3/4 of the power for the melamine or polyester band. Setting it to 1/2 will not glue the band to the wood. I have very good results with this machine - no touch-ups on some 20 melamine cabinets. I also rough the edges with 80 grit sand paper and use compressor to blow any dust before going to the machine with the piece to glue.Worth every penny.One minor issue is a kind of simple adjustment of the position of the band to the wood - the up/down had 4 screws to play with. Still after you set it once for the width you don't have to touch it.

Immediately after purchasing, I used up a 250' roll of edgebanding and had no problems. It took a few dry runs to get the tape to line up parrallel with the board edge, but once I got it adjusted it was great. It's probably a good idea to clean the guides once in a while because they get a little gunked up with glue, but this is easy with alittle acetone. Overall this is a good product for the price, the only drawback is that you have to trim the edgebanding in whatever way you find works best, I use a bandit trimmer and a sander.
