Is the Comatic BR600 Max a Festool Conturo Killer? 

Thanks so much for sharing David. It was a pleasure meeting you at AWFS. We have enjoyed seeing this edgebander help woodworkers like yourself for the 11 years we have been offering it. Feel free to reach out if you need support or if you have any questions. BTW, It looks like we have someone new to do the edgebander demos at future trade shows.😉 Thanks again!

Thanks for the awesome video...looks like a great new shop tool addition! Happy banding...

Looking good Mr.Y, Roger. Good sound and dialog. Nice job

Great video! Thanks for showing us how well this machine can work. Great instructions, I have been looking at something along these lines for a while now, and Im the same, Festool is great when you need it, but price plays a factor... so this looks like a great alternative!

If got the BR500, previous model, using it for about 5 years now. Very usefull, the more you use it the easier it gets. Much cheaper than the Festool

Nice review. I had recommended looking at this unit to one of my viewers as a Conturo alternative. I have the Conturo and the cost of the glue pucks make it expensive to operate. I think the biggest downside to the Conturo is it's limitation to 1mm thick solid wood edgebanding. I tried 2mm thick Sapele and it just cracks and breaks. It handles up to 3mm PVC just fine. The fence plate on the Conturo looks quite a bit stouter and requires no adjustments though. Hindsight is 20/20 but if I had to do it over, I would probably go for the CoMatic. Steve

Thank you! Great video

I have used both types and found the Conturo vastly superior. Lot of faffing about setting that up. The Festool worked straight out of the box. That is also a PITA to clean up. The Festool pucks might be expensive but there is no waste using them and the machine stays very clean. The Conturo alows one to get the tape into parking postion so the machine can be lined up before engaging the feed.Festool also have a basket to hold the tape in position to feed into the machine. If you're running a long edge it keeps the tape off the floor and out from under your feet We also have a shop edge bander but the Conturo is excellent for curves. Festool make an end trimmer which would handle 2mm thick plastic edgeing. None of the other types would do this. Pay the price and cry once

looks like a sweet machine. I like that you can use regular glue pellets. how hard is it to change out to a different color glue?

Nice video do you know if its the same as the felder one its also the one tool i dont own from festool 😊

i like the idea of a portable option, but the weight of that thing must be substantial... are there any assists that might help a small shop make the most of this machine?

Awesome machine.

I can't find reviews online about this product.

just bought a brand new edgebander for $209. I should make a video when i get it..

I bought the complete set of the edge bander 10 years ago in Germany for about 1100€ now i am living in Vietnam. And they sell it separate. The Edge bander cost here about 160€ without shipping cost😢😂😂😂😂😂

i have the same machine ,,,one issue i have is the glue is getting on the face side of the edging ,,,a pain to clean off ,,, after usage do you do a good clean of the machine

What was the Festool tool you used @8:44? I think you just called it the Festool trimmer.

Looks exactly like felder forka 200 eco plus. Have you looked at virutex peb250

The tear out is that fastcap tool. Take it apart and do one side at a time, or better yet, just use a file & rip it off clean in a few swipes. Working way too hard with that fastcap thing. Edit: the fastcap will do just as good as that yellow jobby if you take it apart & make two tools out of one with it.

Wow, what a faff! In the UK, it would have no use- in quality cabinetry any timber you could see the edge of would be solid hardwood. If it was painted, it would not be wood.

Where is it made? China or somewhere else?

I have one they're brilliant, but u need a table for small parts

Why is this machine $800 on ebay and $1600+ or even $2400 from US or from Felder? Not even comparing to Chinese copies whose are from $150+

made in china？
