    Can someone post me a link to where I can find a good melamine edging tool?

    Can't find it at my local home cheapo and the lowes near me doesn't carry melamine anymore period. I saw one on amazon but I also remember seeing someone post one here for cheaper and available at one of the local chains.

    Thanks in advance.

    How thick is the melamine you are using? if it's 3/4" you won't need the edging tool
    Check out what's available at

    Are you talking about the edge banding or how to trim the edge banding?

    Whenever I edged some melamine for my boss, (built a cheapo entertainment center) i just used a router to shave the excess material off.

    A razor blade works great on trimming the edges. Just have a sharp blade and hold it flush.

    Found mine right in the aisle with the melamine, it was right with the edging itself. I have also seen one that is around $60 and trims both edges simultaneously.

    Even if you dont have a razor blade, a sharp knife works just as good. Just make sure you hold it flat and do not scratch the mcp
