This tool was worth every penny. The blades are sharp and the pneumatic action allows it to adjust to different thickness very easily. Makes edge banding a breeze

Excellent quality, what I expect from fastcap. Easy to use, trims nice, easy, and clean.

Works great on straight edges - didn't figure out how to use it on rounded corners. Is it even possible?

I've only used this so far on the edge of plywood with edge banding and not yet trimming only one edge, but it worked very nicely for that. The trimmer cuts smoothly and cleanly and leaves a nice edge to work with. The piston system is a nice upgrade from springs and makes it especially easy to reassemble the unit when you've had it apart.

I have two trimmers, this unit and the less expensive Band-Itnbsp; Band-It Edge Trimmer (33437) . The Band-It trimmer has one distinct advantage over this one - the Quad Trimmer will jam if you're attempting to trim a strip that's a little too wide. My wife and I were working on 1/234; birch plywood, and all I had on hand was 7/834; banding. We ended up with about 1/834; of surplus band on one edge, and about 1/434; on the other. Both trimmers did okay on the 1/834; side, but the Band-It handled the 1/434; side better (after a couple of inches, the curling cutoff would jam in this trimmer). The feature that allows this trimmer to act as if the halves were held apart by strings is a couple of pneumatic cylinders sealed by rubber O-rings. Unfortunately, when working with 1/234; stock it was too difficult to press the halves together; it just wasn't feasible to trim both sides at once. I tried removing the O-rings and installing real springs in the cylinder holes, but it was still too tough for my wife to use. The saving feature is that the two halves can easily be pulled apart and used independently, like the Band-It. So, having pulled the two halves apart, as two single units this trimmer beats the Band-It on how much more comfortable it is to hold. It's also easier to keep it square to the wood without tipping. If I were going to have just a single trimmer, this would be the one.

Sharp blades that works well most time uses separated as the material I use is wider than 1 1/434;

Works great. I couldn't get even trimming on two sides at once, but it's still quick and neat as a one-sided trimer. Easier than past efforts with a plane or chisel.

This product exceeded my expectations right out of the box. There is zero learning curve and results in as near of a perfect finish as can be expected. I'm using 13/16 birch banding on 1/234; plywood. I've found that on one side I band as closely to the ply as possible, leaving quite a bit of banding on the other side which I trim to about 1/834; from the ply. Then using the quad trimmer I'm trimming about 1/834; on both sides which creates a terrific result.

Nice tool. You need to clean off adhesive once in awhile, but it does a nice job. Need a strong grip to do half-inch material.

I did a fair amount of research before I decided on this trimmer. The carbonite blades are so sharp and I could really get a solid grip on both sides of the edge banding. If you've never worked with one of these I would recommend watching a few videos beforehand and practice your technique on a piece of scrap with your edge banding on it. I also used Fastcap's end trimmers and double edge sander and was pretty pleased with them too.
