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.

Features

  • 1 200 W mains-powered motor: Provides reliable power for professional edge banding work.
  • Variable melting temperature: Adjustable temperature range from 100 - 210 °C to suit different adhesives and applications.
  • Two feed speeds: Feed speed options of 2 m/min and 4 m/min allow better control for different edging tasks.
  • Wide edge height range: Handles edge heights from 18 - 65 mm.
  • Edge thickness range: Suitable for edge thicknesses from 0,5 - 3,0 mm.
  • Display-guided operation: The display guides the user through important working steps and shows useful process information.
  • Easy-clean nozzle system: Helps reduce unwanted glue escape and makes maintenance more convenient.
  • Ergonomic handling: The horizontally mounted application system supports good weight distribution and a clear view of the workpiece.

Benefits

  • Professional finish: Produces clean, consistent edging suitable for high-quality furniture, cabinetry and shopfitting work.
  • Efficient workflow: The cartridge adhesive system makes colour changes quicker and cleaner than traditional open glue systems.
  • Reduced waste: Adhesive is melted according to the work requirement, helping to avoid unnecessary glue deterioration.
  • Excellent control: The machine is guided securely along the workpiece, giving a stable, accurate edging process.
  • Flexible use: Useful for workshop production, on-site repairs, special shapes, curved elements and small-batch edging.
  • Part of a complete system: Works with Festool accessories and consumables for trimming, routing, smoothing, sanding and polishing edges.

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.

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.
  • Keep the nozzle system clean to help prevent glue build-up and poor application quality.
