Summary: great product period!
Comment: I used to use the one sided trimmer. It gave terrible results. Now that I use this double edge trimmer, the banding comes out clean and sharp. It does not follow the grain of the banding as most of you may think. Just keep a consistent, snug squeeze and run it in one swift, quick movement. Nice crisp edge. A bit of sanding to break the edge and move on to the next one. This trimmer is worth every penny.

Summary: Freud EB-090
Comment: Great little tool. I use a lot of plywood in my little projects. I like to cover the edges with banding and this tool is great for making it look smooth and natural.

Summary: Difficult blade setup
Comment: When I purchased this tool it worked fabulous! Now since I've had to replace the blades I cannot get the same results. There are no instructions on blade replacement setup at all, even on their website. Now it sits in the drawer and I'm back to sand paper and exacto knives.

Summary: A sharp knife is a better choice
Comment: I build cabinets as a hobby and use about 500 feet of edgebanding a year. I was getting sick of using a razor knife, router and sandpaper to flush the edges. So I decided to spend some money on "the right tool". But after trying the Freud EB-090, I would not recommend it.

On the positive side, it is faster and safer (than the way I usually do it).

But clearly outweighing those advatages are the following...

- you need a good, sharp blade and these are not blades you can sharpen yourself. Replacement blades cost half-again the price of the trimmer.
- I just can't get good results. Hand pressure and other factors affect the quality of the trim.

I could improve results with more practice, but my decision is to return the gadget and spend the money on a good trimming knife and bandaids.

Summary: Couldn't be better
Comment: Easy to use. Does a perfect job. Works smoothly and doesn't require a lot of strength
