Production edge banding just got incredibly simple. Whether you are creating straight runs or curved (inside or outside) surfaces the Conturo Edge Bander is the perfect tool to get the job done. Regardless if you’re a novice or a master woodworker, you can edge band like a pro with this complete, extremely mobile system that delivers “The Perfect Edge” – without the footprint and hassles of other methods and machines.
With the new Conturo Edge Bander, it’s just as easy to apply edge banding on the jobsite as it is in the shop. Even if you have a large stationary edge banding machine, the Conturo can complement your edge banding process by giving you a way to work with radii, circular pieces, bevels and small pieces. The Conturo is suitable for machining all types of wood, plastic or melamine edging with a height of 18mm-65mm (23/32″ to 2-9/16″) and thickness of 0.5mm-0.3 mm (1/32″-1/8″).
Andy Platzer, owner of Platzer Customer Cabinetry, builds kitchen and bathroom cabinets, media centers, pantries, bookcases, and similar products. According to Andy, the Conturo 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. Learn more at http://www.edgebander.com
. In this video, Andy discusses why he believes that the new Festool Conturo Edge Bander is a game changer for his small business.
The Conturo offers exceptional ergonomic design, including dual speeds, and a unique hot melt glue adhesive system. There’s no risk of burns because the glue system is thermally isolated. The self-contained glue cartridge system eliminates glue-pot related hassles, while enabling rapid color changes for a perfect match. An LCD electronic display is designed to keep you informed and to configure the machine. The display shows how much edge banding you can apply with the amount of hot melt adhesive currently in the machine, the current temperature, and the speed setting (slow or fast).
