Laminate trimmers are scaled-down versions of wood routers used to trim excess laminate. Typically, veneers intended as furniture laminates are cut larger than the intended area, then cut down to size during the lamination process. One of the keys to creating a successful woodworking project is to have the right tools at your disposal. Sure, you could make a project with a hammer and a hacksaw, but you would have a very hard time achieving the precise cuts and fits that are possible with tools such as jointers, joiners and planers, not to mention the wide variety of specialty saws. Woodworking is a precision craft these days, and if you are going to successfully compete with the quality of work of other students or other artisans, you will need to know your way around a wood shop.
In this series of carpentry lesson videos, our expert wood craftsman will demonstrate how to use a laminate trimmer. He discusses safety concerns, maintenance tips and shows you how to use a laminate trimmer to get exactly the cut you want.
