I've used the Hoffmann, sold here in the US as Adler if I'm not mistaken. It's a good tool, also expensive. I have the Virutex and it's quite good despite being half the cost of it's competitors. My shop made offset base for a Bosch Colt still gets a surprising amount use as well does my Veritas low angle block plane. If I've just got a few pieces to trim, the plane is always my go to.

Resurrecting this thread, for trimming thicker, solid wood edge banding I completely forgot to mention the Betterly flush trim router setup:??

This setup will trim up to 1-1/2" wide edge lipping in a single pass.?

Betterly is based in Minnesota, ~20 minutes North of Minneapolis. They specialize in making custom router bases, primarily catering to the various counter top trades (laminate, solid surface). They perform all of their milling/machining in-house.?

That’s pretty pricey. ?I made a similar rig from MDF with a trailer hitch ball for a handle based on a design from Michael Fortune. ?I believe it is maybe $15 in materials.

The system I used when I had miles of edging to flush up was a variation on the Aigner and cost very little. I cut a piece of 1/2” ply to fit the top of the shaper and held it back from the fence by a distance slightly more than the thickness of the banding. I then set up a straight shaper cutter to a few thousandths less than the thickness of the ply and used my power feeder to run the workpiece past the cutter head in climb-feed mode, to reduce chip-out to virtually nothing. A couple of cleats applied to the bottom of the ply and registering against the edges of the shaper top kept the ply securely in position. A few passes with a finish sander took care of the final flushing. ?Worked great.?
