The CMT Double-Edge Trimmer (DET-001) is a precision hand tool designed to flush-trim edge banding on both sides of a workpiece in a single pass. Attach the trimmer to your workpiece, press both ends firmly against the board, and move it in the direction indicated by the arrow - the tool handles both faces of the banding simultaneously, making it a reliable choice for woodworking and cabinetry edge finishing. Compatible with edge banding widths ranging from 1/2 in. (13mm) to 1 in. (25mm), this manual edge banding trimmer is well-suited for veneer, melamine, and PVC banding applications where a clean, consistent flush trim is required on both edges at once.

Key Features

• Double-edge simultaneous trimming - trims both sides of edge banding in one pass, cutting the time and effort needed compared to single-edge tools and keeping cuts consistent across both faces.
• Cutting range of 1/2 in. to 1 in. (13mm - 25mm) - accommodates a broad variety of standard banding widths, giving woodworkers flexibility to work with multiple board thicknesses without switching tools.
• Two hardened steel cutters (straight and adjustable taper) - the straight cutter delivers a clean flush cut while the adjustable second cutter allows a slight tapering trim, providing two finishing options in one tool.
• Replaceable blades - worn or damaged cutters can be swapped out quickly using spare knives (DET-001K), extending the usable life of the tool and reducing downtime.
• Directional arrow guide on tool body - clearly indicates correct direction of travel during use, reducing the risk of a wrong-direction cut that could tear or damage the banding.
• Works in sequence with the DET-002 end trimmer - using the DET-002 end trimmer before this tool ensures clean end cuts first, so the double-edge pass produces a finished, professional result.

Why This Product

• For cabinet makers and woodworkers who apply edge banding regularly, trimming both sides in a single controlled pass - rather than two separate operations - means faster workflow and more consistent flush results on finished panels.
• The 1/2 in. to 1 in. (13mm - 25mm) cutting range covers the most common banding widths used in cabinetry and furniture work, making this a practical all-around edge trimmer for a typical shop environment.
• Having both a straight cutter and an adjustable taper cutter built into one tool gives the user finishing flexibility - straight flush for crisp edges, or a slight taper for a softer finished look - without reaching for a second trimmer.
• Replaceable hardened steel blades mean the tool remains a long-term shop asset rather than a disposable item - when performance drops, only the knives need to be replaced, not the entire trimmer.
