New mid range edgebander options

6/15/24       
JR Rutter Member

We are looking to buy a new edgebander that can grow with us from the 2 kitchens/month phase to the 1 kitchen/week level (and maybe beyond if wecan outsource installs or sell to contractors who can handle it themselves. Right now, I don't forsee doing much in the way of thick PVC, mostly thin PVC and wood. It would also be nice to have the option to run wood framed doors through to round all corners.

Is there a good resource for how to select a newer machine?
What machines should be on our short list in the $50-$90k range?
Do we need to spend that much to get great results that don't require additional hand work?
Who has the best service and training?

Banders are hateful horrible machines. Whoever can service it is likely your best bet.

Hi JR, we sell new and used edgebanders across almost all brands.

You will need a machine with pre-mill, end trim, top/bottom, glue scrape, radius scrape, corner rounding, and buffing.

In that price range, you can definitely afford a new machine. A European brand like SCM, Holzher, Homag, and Biesse will be your best bet for reliability, parts, and service.

I am happy to talk you through the pros/cons of the different machines. My number is 678-925-3556 or email info@ibidmachinery.com. Thank you!

You can get a very nice, solid machine from Vantedge in that price range. I run a 6.5 model it’s equipped with 3mm scrapers, if your not doing 3mm, a 5.5 or 6.0 is your model.

I'd look at the Holzher Auriga 1308. I spent quite a bit of time shopping for a new bander a few months ago. Ended up with a Holzher Sprint 1329, but we were close to going with the 1308, decided to spend more money. The 1308 will be at the top of your price point, but will give you almost full servo control, the only hand set dial on the machine is for the banding thickness. The GluJet system is wonderful, I'll never go back to a machine with a glue pot. The GluJet is particularly nice for a shop that needs to run the machine a day or two a week, and then be able to quickly warm up the machine and run a few parts when needed. There are also many good machines with glue pots, the disadvantages of a glue pot fade as you get to the point where the machine is running all day. Maintenance is much easier on the Holzher system, though the cost of glue is roughly double.

I looked seriously at machines from Biesse and Homag as well, and both companies had a lot to offer. We ultimately chose Holzher as we have a very good technician within an hour of our shop. I'd suggest you look for the same.

    FORUM GUIDELINES: Please review the guidelines below before posting at WOODWEB's Interactive Message Boards (return to top)

  • WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.
  • Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.
  • A valid email return address must be included with each message.
  • Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.
  • Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.
  • "Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.
  • Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.
  • Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
  • Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.
  • Comments, questions, or criticisms regarding Forum policies should be directed to WOODWEB's Systems Administrator
    (return to top).

    Carefully review your message before clicking on the "Send Message" button - you will not be able to revise the message once it has been sent.

    You will be notified of responses to the message(s) you posted via email. Be sure to enter your email address correctly.

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).

    The staff of WOODWEB assume no responsibility for the accuracy, content, or outcome of any posting transmitted at WOODWEB's Message Boards. Participants should undertake the use of machinery, materials and methods discussed at WOODWEB's Message Boards after considerate evaluation, and at their own risk. WOODWEB reserves the right to delete any messages it deems inappropriate. (return to top)
