Milescraft Inc. 8403 Laminate Trimmer

I hesitated to buy this product because it is inexpensive and some of the reviews were pretty bad. But I was about to begin a project of veneering an entire set of cherry kitchen cabinets, and I figured I didn't have much to lose for the price.I have now used it to complete the project, along with projects using oak veneer and white laminate. I can now say the tool is amazing. It makes edges that are so smooth they hardly need any sanding. You just need to change the razor blade after 8 to 10 cuts or so. It is one of the best inexpensive tools I have ever bought.

Simply does not work, with multiple tries, different edging material. Left splinters or did not trim the edging at all. Easy to use but needs an inordinate amount of pressure and skill to even trim a small section. All the low cost (reasonable) trimmers of this kind do not work well and not worth the money. I can not recommend any other type. As usual return was a snap. cheers.

I definitely recommend practicing before trying it on your finished work. It is easy to have it ride on the edge of the edge banding rather than cutting it flush, and it is possible to bear down to hard (or at an angle) and gouge a little from the wood face. But with a little practice, you can get a good trim that just needs a little finish sanding or filing in a few spots.

bought this to trim rubber tee moulding on the edge of some plywood. it didnt work very well for that... blade is at wrong angle to stay flush with the flat surface... i havent used it on edge banding but i have done a fair bit of edge banding and dont think it would be much better for that, for the same reason...

I am a typical homeowner and built a small cabinet around my laundry tub in the garage. I bought a laminate product for the countertop and use this cutter to trim the edges. It did a perfect job, but I was slow and methodical in the cuts. I think a person with short patience may have a problem since it does require a focused slow movement to get the perfect cut. I am happy with this purchase.

It very strong. Did not cut countertop before broke.

I have been hand trimming with a utility blade for years and this device does the job better and much quicker. Always remember to cut with the grain to avoid splintering of the edging. I use this only for trimming real wood edge banding, not laminate. Laminate is far too thick to be cut with such a device. I use a trimmer bit intended for laminate with a router when trimming laminate.

It was easy to use and broke just as easy. Put in new razor blades and those were also easily damaged. The easiest way to trim the laminate was taking a box cutter and slicing it down and then filing the edge. Figured it was safer and easier to use the $5 tool, but was not worth it in the end.
