Applying edge banding is only the first stage of the process. Excess material must be trimmed flush with the panel faces, the front and rear ends must be cut cleanly, and any remaining adhesive or surface irregularities must be removed.

The AU93 and RC21E set simplifies this workflow by combining two complementary tools:

• AU93 Double Edge Trimmer and Scraper: trims both sides of the edge and refines the finished surface
• RC21E Manual End Trimmer: cuts the excess tape at the ends and corners of the panel

Using purpose-built edge finishing tools improves control and helps reduce the risk of damaging the decorative face of the panel or the applied tape.

The AU93 Double Edge Trimmer is designed to trim the upper and lower sides of an applied edge simultaneously. This dual-sided operation helps reduce finishing time while keeping the edge aligned with both panel faces.

It can be used on edge banding up to 40 mm wide. For wider workpieces or applications that require more independent control, the AU93 can be separated and used as two individual edge trimmers.

Simultaneous Trimming on Both Panel Faces

Trimming both sides in one controlled pass helps create an even result and reduces the number of separate operations required. This is especially useful when processing repeated components for cabinets, shelves, drawers, and furniture panels.

The design supports stable guidance along the panel, allowing the blades to remove excess edge material while following the surface accurately.

Independent Use for Wider Edge Banding

When the applied edge exceeds the standard working capacity, each side of the AU93 can be used independently. This feature gives professionals greater flexibility when working with thicker panels, wide edges, or projects that require separate finishing of each face.

Integrated Double Scraper for Final Edge Refinement

After trimming, small burrs, glue residue, or minor irregularities may remain on the edge. The AU93 includes a double scraping function that refines the surface and helps create a smooth transition between the panel and the edge banding.

This final scraping stage is important when preparing high-visibility furniture components where finish quality can be judged by touch as well as appearance.

The RC21E Manual End Trimmer is designed to remove the excess tape extending beyond the front and rear ends of the panel. Its guided cutting action produces a clean finish across the corners without requiring extensive secondary filing or sanding.

The RC21E is suitable for trimming a broad range of edge banding materials, including:

• PVC edge banding
• Melamine tape
• Polyester edging
• Wood veneer
• Other compatible thin edge materials

Twin-Use Blades for Efficient Edge Finishing

The RC21E uses twin-use replaceable blades designed to provide accurate cuts and extended working life. The cutting system helps limit tearing or deformation of the tape, supporting a cleaner junction at the panel corner.

Its manual format also gives the operator direct control over positioning and cutting pressure, making it suitable for both workshop finishing and on-site corrections.

This manual edge banding tool set can support a wide variety of professional woodworking applications:

• Kitchen cabinet manufacturing
• Closet and storage system production
• Custom furniture assembly
• Retail display and commercial fixture construction
• Shelving and drawer production
• On-site furniture installation and repair
• Small-batch panel processing

Because neither tool requires electrical power, the set can be moved easily between workstations and installation sites. It is also practical for finishing individual parts where setting up a powered trimming machine would be inefficient.

Key Features of the AU93 Double Edge Trimmer and Scraper

• Dual-side trimming: cuts both sides of the applied edge simultaneously
• Working capacity: suitable for edge banding up to 40 mm wide
• Convertible design: separates into two independent trimmers for wider edges
• Double scraper: removes glue residue and refines remaining burrs
• Replaceable blades: supports consistent cutting performance and straightforward maintenance

Key Features of the RC21E Manual End Trimmer

• Clean end trimming: cuts excess tape at panel ends and corners
• Material versatility: works with PVC, melamine, polyester, veneer, and similar edging materials
• Twin-use blades: provides efficient cutting and extended blade service
• Manual precision: offers direct control without electrical power
• Reduced secondary finishing: helps produce a clean result with fewer additional operations

How the Set Improves the Edge Banding Workflow

A consistent manual finishing process can follow three clear stages:

• Trim the long sides: use the AU93 to remove excess material from both panel faces
• Cut the ends: use the RC21E to finish the front and rear corners
• Refine the edge: use the AU93 scraping function to remove glue residue and minor burrs

This sequence creates a controlled transition from freshly applied tape to a finished panel ready for assembly or installation.
