About to do a large box in teak veneer. In the past I've laid the veneered box face down on MDF and trimmed with a very sharp knife. Seems to work well, but very time consuming.

I've also used an edge band trimmer, but always get tear-out going in and coming out, even with a new blade. Also, I've used a laminate trimmer bit designed for the roto-zip - the bit looks like a cylinder with a square notch. Again, not much luck as it tended to score the edge beyond repair.

Any ideas?......C
