Introducing Wolfgang Reines.

Carpenter. Product manager. Inventor.

I always have mixed feelings when visiting

a carpenter‘s workshop. On the one hand,

I enjoy the smell of fresh timber and recog-

nise the typical whirring and screeching of

saws cutting through wood. I also revel in

the atmosphere that I became so familiar

with during my training as a carpenter. But

then I immediately switch to my role as a

product manager, where I have to analyse

every working situation, every process and

even every individual action from a very

different perspective. I then arrange a

meeting with the cabinetmaker to discover

more about the processes in the workshop.

Or hold discussions with staff to gather

valuable information on how to achieve

the desired result more quickly. Which, for

example, could help prevent damage to

the material. I also try to obtain ideas that

could help achieve an overall better working

result.

This is exactly how “The perfect edge” concept

was developed. As a central hand-guided

electric power tool for professional edge

banding, the CONTURO was not designed as

a replacement for stationary edging machines,

but rather as an effective system solution

for the manufacture of small batches or

rapid production of high-quality edging,

even on curved, convex or concave shapes.

One system that represents excellent

results and is easy to operate, but above all,

opens up new possibilities for fulﬁlling the

individual wishes of your customers.

Edging. Part of the design.

A beautiful ﬁnishing touch.

Edges on tables, cabinets and ofﬁce equipment are just as important

as the workpiece itself, because if the ﬁnish is not perfect, it affects the overall quality of the

workpiece. The glued join may be visible, and dirt can accumulate. In the worst case scenario, it

is possible to feel the ﬁnsihed edge, and since Festool always strives to achieve perfection down

to the smallest detail, we have also dedicated ourselves to ensuring the ﬁnish is perfect. We

not only wanted to offer an edge gluing system that produces virtually invisible joins, but also

to provide an entire system solution for creating the perfect edge by adapting the components

perfectly to one another and ensuring that the machine, accessories and consumable materials

work hand in hand. Continue reading this manual for more information.

The CONTURO. Basis for the perfect edge.

The CONTURO edge bander allows the simple attachment of edging on anything from rectan-

gular components, to complex free shapes such as curves, radii, convex and concave shapes.

These require a maximum inner radius of 50 mm, and a minimum outer radius of 25

–

30 mm

(depending on the edging mat

erial and thickness).

In combination with a bench unit, the CONTURO also gives you the possibility of attaching edging

to mitred workpieces to a professionally manufactured quality standard. All classic versions of

edging – from wood and plastic to melamine – with a height of 18–65 mm and an edge thickness

of 0.5–3.0 mm can be processed quickly and easily in line with the relevant material.

Versatile and easy to operate, the CONTURO represents a genuine solution for manufacturing

individual shaped parts, as well as afﬁxing edging to workpieces or furniture components produced

in small batches. Packed in a SYSTAINER, the CONTURO is also suitable for mobile use as well

as manufacturing edging in situ with a perfect quality ﬁnish. The following pages show examples

of all of these different applications.
