JOBS THAT WERE NOT EVEN AN OPTION ARE NOW POSSIBLE AND EVERYDAY WITH THE FESTOOL CONTURO EDGE BANDER
Inside curves, outside curves...easy and fast! Better than a full size stationary bander costing many times as much!
Andy Platzer, owner of Platzer Customer Cabinetry, builds kitchen and bathroom cabinets, media centers, pantries, bookcases, and similar products. In this video, Andy discusses why he believes that the new Festool Conturo Edge Bander is a game changer for his small business. It allows him to produce high quality, complex edge banded work without the high cost of stationary machinery. Being able to apply edge banding on curved and beveled surfaces allows him to be more creative in his designs.
Andy says...
"I think the contour will be perfect for the established cabinet maker like myself who wants to do some curved shelves and parts every so often because typical edge banders pretty much just band straight the handheld position is great for doing outside or inside curves"
"...the other area would be perfect for is guys that are just starting out and don't want to make the investment in a large stationary edge bander they could get into edge banding at a much lower cost than investing in some large machine."

Andy also adds
"If you got to drive four hours away or something and you're working on the job site and you don't know what's going to come up the Conturo would be perfect for that, you'd have your edge bander in the back your truck and you just pull it out and band parts as needed straight or curved so yeah now having the Conturo we'll plan things differently and think about things differently knowing that we can edge band curved parts"
In conlcusion, Andy decisively says...
"we've had other tools that are less than par and sometimes those tools couldn't even do what they're supposed to do and they wouldn't even last for the job justi9fying purchasing a Festool tool is not a problem for me"
Andy goes on to say “
"...not only does it do the curves you could band beveled panels you could rip 22 and a half degree parts 45 degree parts all you got to do is loosen up two knobs in the back of the machine and look at the gauge on the side and tilt it up to that whatever degree you like and tighten the knobs down and it's ready to go that's a totally unique feature that not even stationary edge banders can do."
