Re: Edgebanders

For production work, I outsource edgebanding to a local high volume shop that produces Ikea-like closet solutions. Production edgebanding machines are very maintenance intensive, especially if run intermittently. ??Depending on your volume, you might be a lot better off outsourcing big projects, and using a handheld bander like the Festool or the ForKa (sold by Felder and others). ?For in-house work (typically thicker hardwood banding), I devised a clamping table system that works great, but is certainly low volume. ?I have done a lot of edgebanding with that simple clamping table in conjunction with a lipping planer to trim flush after glue-up. ?Details on that are here: ??

I'm starting to put together a plan for edgebanders. I am a novice at any edgebander brand, model, method. At this point it's a strategic step that may happen sooner or later, but I want to start considering it now since there seems a lot to?consider. Like wide belt sanders, there seems to be a lot of danger in buying bad apples in ex factory auctions and otherwise secondhand I'd prefer to avoid. Does anyone have any good advice, resources, opinions, experience to get this conversation going?
