Are you doing a LARGE amount of edging.... I did an entire Kitchen cupboard fitout using a clothes iron and some thick paper over the edging and a hand held edging laminex trimmer.

I can buy a pre glued edge bander hebrock .... But I use polytec products mainly and paper edge is few and far between ! I've just gone on my own in the last few months and before that I worked for a company that provide all cabinets for one of WA's biggest builders and everything was edged in 1mm & 2mm abs and this finish and look is what I'm after

Avoid Hebrock like the plague. We bought one of their hot melt machines a few years ago and there are just so many things that are poorly designed.

I can't help with pre-glued machines as I've never used one, but I wouldn't trust a Hebrock.
