FastCap Quad Trimmer With Tungsten Carbide Blades, Red

If you do edge bading these are a must have. I've bought the alphabet brand versions on Amazon (you know the ones by companies with names that have 7 consonants and one vowel) and the Fastcap is worth the extra dough, IMO. I just bought a new one as our first one needed new blades and it was cheaper (or about the same $) to buy a whole new one. I've bought many tools that look like they are made in the same factory as the premium brand product but are cheaper because they are not the premium brand. Sometimes this works out, sometimes it doesn't. In this case, thw trimmer is worth the brand name cost.

Easy to use with sharp blades.

Works fine, but won’t do both sides at the same time of 1/2” veneer, because it doesn’t close that tightly.

No complaints, sharp as advertised, used on 100’ of Birch banding & cut in 1 pass.Found it easier to start in the middle and go both ways than start on one end.

Easy to use. Can cut both siders at once but I opted to do one side at a time. Worked well and, as a first-time user, I had no problems. Would recommend

Recently built some cabinets that required edge banding. Have not really done much edge banding, so this was also a learning project. This design seems to be the most common, so many companies selling the same thing.It works pretty well, simple design and use. Slides along the board just fine and trims off the excess. Smooth enough action. Cuts just fine. Well sort of...Sadly, As other reviewers have mentioned, this tool randomly takes out small slivers of banding. Not big chunks, but just enough to see. Granted, other people probably won't notice, but I know they are there, bugs me. I read reviews and some people said to they did a light cut, then went back and did a final cut. I tried that a few times and still I got random slivers taken out.While it works, I don't think I will be using this often. I just got a single side quality cutter, I'll be trying that out.I like most fastcap stuff, have a bunch of their tools, but not thrilled about this one.

I applied iron-on maple edge banding to the plywood lid of a toy chest I built. This was the first time doing this for me. I couldn't be happier. I did follow advise from other reviewers to pull the trimmer apart and trim only one edge at a time. As my pictures show, this trimmer worked flawlessly. It only took one stroke around the entire perimeter, including the 2" radiused corners. A light sanding on the edges is all it took make everything darn near perfect.

I have to edge band about 20 kitchen cabinet drawers that I'm making (honey do list) and I'm using 3/4" edge banding for 5/8" baltic birch plywood. I did some research online and discovered that there's normal steel blades for the edge trimmers that wear out quickly and then there's carbide blades that don't trim as well to begin with as the steel blades, but they last 5 times longer. Being a woodworker for over 30 years, I typically go for carbide blades over steel ones anyway, so I ordered this edge trimmer that came with the more expensive carbide blades.I've only completed edging 2 drawers and this trimmer works well in my opinion. Some people use razor blades, but I don't think I could do a proper job with just a razor blade, plus it'd take me a lot longer to finish the job. This tool makes the job very simple and error proof. The only problem that I could imagine is if you didn't press the two sides together enough while trimming the veneer, you would have an uneven edge. A second pass would fix that issue.
