I find it works fine as long as you keep the edges REAL sharp. When
dull, you can snag some grain on wood-tape, especially oak. With wood
tape, I use a 1 1/4 inch chisel with a tiny micro-bevel honed onto the
back of the edge. When keeping an eye (either) on the grain direction, I
find I get better results with the chisel.
Are you applying the egdebanding tape by hand?

Yes, I use the iron-on tapes. They are pretty thin (sigh). Wish I had
an edgebander, but doubt that'll happen in this lifetime.
