Description
Precision carbide scraper blades and scratch-free guide runners trim edge banding flush with cabinet panels without veneer gouging. The Festool Contour Edge Bander Trimming Set finishes applied edge tape using specialized hand tools. You guide scrapers along panel borders. This kit delivers trimming hand tools only, requiring a separate Festool Conturo edgebander to apply hot-melt glue.
Reversible solid carbide forms the multi-radius edge scraper, holding razor-sharp cutting edges through thousands of feet of tough PVC tape. Molded ABS plastic forms the rugged Systainer case, organizing felt-bottom guide runners, abrasive pads, and hand trimmers. The scratch-free runner snaps onto handheld routers to prevent surface marring on delicate high-gloss laminates. The complete boxed set weighs 4.8 lbs, measuring 15.5 inches long by 11.6 inches wide for compact transport.
