Edge Supply Edge Banding Tape Review: Right for Us?
We’ve been on a quiet mission to make our plywood projects look less like “weekend prototypes” and more like furniture we’d actually keep. The Edge Supply White Oak 3/4 in x 50 ft Roll promises exactly that: a real-wood veneer edge banding tape with pre-glued hot melt adhesive, ready to iron on. In our shop, the appeal is immediate—no messy contact cement, no complicated setup, just heat, pressure, and a trim. The smooth, sanded finish feels like a head start, especially for paint-free builds where grain and color matter. Still, we’re curious whether “white oak” looks consistently natural across different sheets, and how durable the bond stays after a few seasons of bumps, wipes, and everyday use.
Milwaukee M18 FUEL Belt Sander Review: Our Shop Fit?
We’ve run plenty of belt sanders in our shop, but the Milwaukee Electric Tool M18 FUEL 3" x18" Belt Sander immediately feels like it was built for real-world chaos—quick touch-ups, stubborn glue lines, and those “just one more pass” moments that turn into ten. Going cordless changes the rhythm: we’re not dragging a cord off the bench or hunting for an outlet when we’re shaping an edge on-site. In this review, we’ll look at how the tool balances in hand, how controllable it feels under load, and whether the M18 FUEL power actually holds up when we lean into it. We’ll also talk dust control, belt tracking, and what surprised us after a week of use.
