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 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.

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.
Safety
- Read the operating instructions and safety information before using the machine.
- Wear suitable eye protection when trimming, routing or finishing edges after application.
- Use hearing protection where required, especially during extended workshop use.
- Keep hands away from the heated adhesive and nozzle area during operation.
- Allow the machine to cool down properly before cleaning, transport or storage.
- Do not touch melted adhesive, as it can cause burns.
- Keep the workpiece stable and properly supported during edging.
- Use only suitable Festool adhesive cartridges and approved accessories for the CONTURO system.
- Inspect the mains cable before use and do not operate the machine with a damaged cable.
- Disconnect the machine from the power supply before maintenance, cleaning or accessory changes.
