Freud EB-090 Hand Trimmer for Edge Banding Reviews
Nice crisp edge. This trimmer is worth every penny.
It does not follow the grain of the banding as most of you may think. Now that I use this double edge trimmer, the banding comes out clean and sharp.
I used to use the one sided trimmer. It gave terrible results.
A bit of sanding to break the edge and move on to the next one.
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.
When I purchased this tool it worked fabulous. Now it sits in the drawer and I'm back to sand paper and exacto knives. There are no instructions on blade replacement setup at all, even on their website. Now since I've had to replace the blades I cannot get the same results.
Replacement blades cost half-again the price of the trimmer. I was getting sick of using a razor knife, router and sandpaper to flush the edges. Hand pressure and other factors affect the quality of the trim.I could improve results with more practice, but my decision is to return the gadget and spend the money on a good trimming knife and bandaids. I build cabinets as a hobby and use about 500 feet of edgebanding a year. So I decided to spend some money on "the right tool". - I just can't get good results. But after trying the Freud EB-090, I would not recommend it.On the positive side, it is faster and safer (than the way I usually do it).But clearly outweighing those advatages are the following.- you need a good, sharp blade and these are not blades you can sharpen yourself.
Easy to use. Works smoothly and doesn't require a lot of strength Does a perfect job.
