What Some Customers Thought
Difficult blade setup
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.
A sharp knife is a better choice
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.
Couldn't be better
Easy to use. Does a perfect job. Works smoothly and doesn't require a lot of strength
