Edge band trimmers are typically fiddly plastic things. But Japanese manufacturer Star-M’s No. 4960<\/a> is a chunk of steel with a beefy handle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Though the handle looks like cast iron, it’s actually ABS. The handle size and the 7.3 oz weight of the tool help to provide stability throughout the cut.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No blades to replace: The handle unscrews from the steel, and you can resharpen the blade yourself.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s available in both square-cut and chamfer-cut versions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While the tool retails for the equivalent of less than $30 in Japan, it isn’t officially distributed here; importers have thus marked it up to a hefty $73. <\/p>\n
