Festool KA 65-Plus CONTURO Edge Bander

At a Glance: Professional 1 200 W edge bander for edging heights from 18 - 65 mm and edge thicknesses from 0,5 - 3,0 mm

The Festool KA 65-Plus CONTURO is a professional edge bander designed for clean, accurate and efficient application of edging to panel materials. It is ideal for cabinetmakers, shopfitters, furniture manufacturers and installers who need a high-quality finish on wood, plastic, melamine and laminated plastic edging. The CONTURO brings true workshop-quality edging to mobile and small-batch work, making it possible to edge straight panels, curves, radii, free-form shapes and even inclined edges with impressive control and consistency.

The Start Of The Perfect Edge

The KA 65-Plus uses Festool's cartridge gluing system to apply adhesive precisely and cleanly. The adhesive is melted only as required, helping to prevent boiling, discolouration and deterioration while giving excellent bond quality and a neat finish.

Product highlights

Clean edge banding: Applies edging to panel materials with excellent joint quality and strong adhesion.
Unique cartridge gluing system: Allows clean working and quick colour changes between adhesive cartridges.
Accurate glue application: Precision adhesive application helps produce a neat, strong and professional edge finish.
Versatile edge compatibility: Suitable for wood, plastic, laminated plastic and melamine edging.
For straight and shaped work: Handles rectangular components, curves, radii, convex and concave shapes.
Mobile or stationary use: Practical for on-site rework, workshop production, small batches and stationary edging tasks.
Inclined edge capability: Suitable for gluing inclined edges from 0 - 47° when used in stationary applications.
Safe handling: The machine housing does not heat up during operation, helping to make work safer and more comfortable.

Extra Information

The KA 65-Plus is part of the Festool CONTURO edge banding system.
It is designed for variable edge heights and material thicknesses up to 3 mm.
The machine is suitable for common edge materials including wood, plastic and melamine.
It can process internal radii greater than 50 mm.
Festool adhesive cartridges are available in different colours to better match the workpiece decor.
The display can show useful working information, including how many metres of edging can still be processed at the selected edge height and adhesive quantity.
For long edge bands, Festool offers additional accessories to support cleaner handling and better freedom of movement.

Pro Tips

Match the adhesive colour to the edging and board surface for a more professional joint line.
Use the slower feed speed when working on curves, small parts or more detailed edging work.
Allow the machine to reach the correct temperature before starting the edging process.
Prepare the board edge properly before applying edging; a clean, square and dust-free edge gives the best bond.
For a complete finish, trim, rout, scrape, sand and polish the edge using the matching Festool edge finishing accessories.
Use the correct temperature setting for the adhesive type to avoid poor bonding or glue overheating.

How to Use

Prepare the workpiece edge so that it is clean, square and ready for edging.
Select the correct adhesive cartridge colour and insert it according to the machine instructions.
Set the required melting temperature for the adhesive being used.
Allow the KA 65-Plus to heat up fully before starting work.
Set the edge height and choose the suitable feed speed for the application.
Position the edging and guide the machine steadily along the workpiece.
Maintain consistent pressure so that the edging bonds evenly to the panel.
After application, allow the adhesive to set as required before trimming or routing.
Trim the excess edging, then scrape, sand and polish the edge for the final finish.
Clean the nozzle and machine contact areas as required after use.
