Thanks for suggestion but trim bit bearing binds and burns wood.
Didn't grow up with planes so they're kinds off base. DDid buy a
couple blades for the Olfa Rotary Cutter that got the job done. Wife
has a larger one for quilting and has replaced blades several times.
Several makers of these and Wallyworld has blades on pegs. Sometimes
I wonder how stupid I can get and sometimes it isn't needed.

Another method if the OP is talking about the 1/32 to 1/16 thin
edge banding:
* Use a knife to trim the ends -- two or three passes...doing it in
one pass with wood edge banding is asking for frayed ends.
* Then use a file (smooth bastard or the kind sold as an axe file).
Tilt and bevel the file at about 45 degrees, and file in the direction
of the untouched banding to the material being banded. You want to
be shearing the waste material off, and pressing the banding into
the core stock at the same time. Not sure if these directions are
clear. I am better at doing things than talking about it.

Sharp chisel run with the flat side down.

For real edge banding? As in the hot-melt kind? I use a European tool
that adjusts to the width of the stock, and has knives (non-rotary) on
both sides. Squeeze hard, and slide it down the stock: works!
