Makita banding trim attachment

This is an attachment for the Makita trim router for edge band trimming. It is designed to use with a 1/2" bit. The mounting plate allows for micro-adjustments to allow for a perfect trim. I use a bullnose router bit to avoid an edge caused by the straight bit.

For safety, the router bit is almost completely covered. There is a small opening that allows the shaving to escape.

To install, replace the router soleplate using the same screws.

If the amount of trimming is significant then I suggest you lift the motor end slightly and take several light passes before you do a final 'flush' pass.

This tool requires 2 hands to operate safely, therefore the routing object needs to be fastened down.

Please like and post a make!
