Just from reading internet reviews, I'm leaning toward a single sided cutter that cuts forward or backward. What is your preferred method for trimming a lot of self gluing wood edging?
I quit using blade trimmers on wood. Now all I do is use a file the side of the file cuts off the banding with no tear out and is fast. Follow with sandpaper glued to a block of wood about 3x8”. Final is burnish the edge with an old broom handle.Just from reading internet reviews, I'm leaning toward a single sided cutter that cuts forward or backward.

I find that those trimmers that slide down the edge produce a poor quality edge. Router trimmers also the same. I can absolutely finish an edge quicker with a manual file than either of those methods and with better quality. Place the file in a vertical position and "saw" straight down and forward while keeping the file in contact with the work piece and only cut in the down stroke motion. You will quickly get the hang of it and not go back to router bits and razor blades. I hope this helps.Jeff, I have used a 10" mill file and it shears of the excess nicely. But I'm hoping to find something quicker to do 100 feet.
