Hi all I am looking to buy a edge bander
I only have small workshop and space is nearly at max. I was looking to get used virtulex but have read some poor reviews about them. Currently I'm using a bench top edge bander any advice would be appreciated thanks lads

I have had my Minimax Me20 for 1 1/2 years and it has been a good machine. It has run about 2000 meters of tape. I run .5mm pvc and .5mm fleece backed most of the time. I have run 2 mm pvc and it handled it alright, it is rated up to 2 mm in pvc. I use unfilled Jowat at 200 C. my Rolair JC10 easily keeps up to it as well.

I have an amt edge master...safety speed bought them and so now it's called (I think) a safety speed edgemaster. Get one with a glue pot...not the hot air. It's finicky like ALL edgebanders (even the 30' long units with all the bells and whistles) but it's small and has served me well.

I've had mine for about 3 or 4 years. Bought it used for $5000 I am think. Safety speed is pretty helpful on the phone when there are issues. There will be issues. If you buy it, feel free to email me if you want with questions.
