Thanks James. That's what I keep telling my wife - you need the right tool for the job. That comment has bitten me several times in reverse with the sewing room - LOL. Steve

Beautiful bench behind you

That is a 20+ year old Diefenbach bench. Steve

I seen some what looks like rubber edge banding. Can it do those?

Nice. What make are your vacuum hold downs. Do you have a video of that set up.

Hi Shilo. It is a Barth 500V. I made a video a number of years ago on it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jG2VuNhuqtqsdtY.html Steve

I'm a hobbyist and considering the Conturo. Even for Festool this seems expensive. I do a reasonable amount of edgebanding and don't like the finish I get with cheepo banding/ironing. Is it worth it? Any other products you considered instead?

Before purchase of the Conturo, I almost purchased the Adamik edgebander but I don't think these are still made. I also considered many of the Adamik knockoffs which all seemed to garner a lot of bad reviews where the Adamik did not. The Conturo is overpriced and if that isn't bad enough, the adhesive is ridiculously overpriced. If I were in the market today, I would probably be looking at the CoMatic BR600. I would speak with Kyle at Shop Gear Inc. before buying one though as he is quite helpful. Here is a link: www.shopgearinc.com/products/BR600-Max-Contour-Edgebander-p494942129 Steve

@@extremewoodworker Thanks. This is exactly the insight I was looking for!

Those veneer strips look very thick. Have you had a chance to use it with real wood veneer? Nice tool!

I have used this with 3mm PVC edgebanding around a 90 mm radius curve and it worked well. I ordered a 300' roll of 2mm sapele edgebanding and tried it with unacceptable results. The edgebanding continually cracked and sometimes broke as it entered the Conturo. I experimented with various shop made strips of hardwood and it need to be less than 1.2 mm thickness to work with the machine. It was a disappointment as Festool was not very forthcoming with that limitation when this machine was introduced. Steve

@@extremewoodworker That’s very good to know, appreciate the tool feed back. I’ll just keep doing it the “old school” way for now! Thx Steve.

Hi David. I am making a cabinet to get stuff off the floor of my shop. Part of the material is being used for shop shelf units. Steve

The only drawback I see is you can't do an inside corner with that machine I've done laminate countertops and Cabinetry for years this can't be cost effective
