Blew $60 on a fancy edgebanding trimmer that left me disappointed
I picked up one of those pneumatic edgebanding trimmers from a woodworking show last month. Cost me 60 bucks and I thought it would save me time on flush trimming. First two passes on a melamine shelf it chipped the edge bad. Ended up back to my old Stanley block plane with a sharp blade, works perfect and cost me nothing extra. Anyone else had bad luck with those fancy trimmers?

Dude it's just a $60 tool not a life changing decision. People act like chipped melamine is a federal case.

Blame it on the tool not the material, I had the same thing happen with a laminate trimmer I bought off some website. Those cheap pneumatic ones are all hype, they don't have the control you get from a good plane. Better off sticking with simple hand tools that let you feel the cut.
