Edge banding

I’ve never found these bits to be necessary. Yellow glue and masking tape for a clamp and I’ve never had a problem.

-- Sam Hamory - The project is never finished until its "finished"!

Here is my 2 cents. To hide edges of plywood, no. you will have to get everything setup just so and the cost of the bits. Here is what i would do. Take 2 pcs of plywood that have to be edged lay them side by side, cut a oversize pc (say 1/2 inch width & 1/4 thicker) wood you want to use as a edgeband with and put it between the two pcs of plywood, like a sandwich and glue all of them together. Clamp well, this will make for even clamping presure. After they dry, rip them apart to the width needed. You can now use a flush trim bit to trim the thickness. Or as i would do, set up the table saw fencè with a scrap board on it, like a sacrafical fence just above the saw blade and the thickness of the wood. Set the outside edge of the saw blade even with the outside edge of the sacrifical board. Turn the plywood upright and trim flush.

PVA II glue Electrical tape for clamps and a flush trim bit works great for me

Go with the pins if you don’t need to route into them.

Those birdsmouth cutters are going to create an acute corner
on fragile 1/40” thick veneers. That edge is very delicate
until you get the other part glued in. I fussed with a similar
system for few projects several years ago. Results were
not bad looking at all but it was very fussy work and easy
to mess up.
