Manual Edgebander feedback requested.
Does anyone have any experience or ancedotal information on the suite of manual hot pot Edgebanders currently in the marketplace?
They all appear to be the same Chinese clone with different branding. Felder ECO, Adamik Rambo, Virtutech, etc. Retailing for around 3K each.
I have done the pre-glued iron route before and it is okay. However, I am currently doing a kitchen for an extremly fussy customer (my wife) and would hate to have it peel off two years from now and have to redo it. Or worse have her look at it and say it is s**t.
If I saw myself becoming a ft cabinet maker, I would spend $20K or 10K for decent used one. However, besides our kitchen and the odd closet or two, I do not see myself becoming a cabinet shop.
Not to mention the space restraints. I am in a two car garage with a PRS 4896 already taking up one bay.
Also, can someone explain to me in simple terms which type and thickness of edge banding is used where? Current experience is only with HD 1 MM pre-glued which I find very thin and brittle.

Mark
