I am looking at this on Stew Mac ... And I want to make it clear , I am VERY HAPPY with Stew Mac , so this isn't and will not turn into a Negative Thread ......

ALL I want to know is ... Experience with this particular Tool ? Like ? Dislike ? And Why ?

How well does Binding hold up being laminated with acetone ?

it doesn't work with ABS plastic binding. Not a fan of this, you can glue in the purfling with the binding.

A few bits of baltic birch ply does the same thing for pennies...
I do that sort of thing to bond blk or blk/wht/blk to the edge of ivoroid for side stripes. Easier than trying to put binding and side purfling on at the same time. It's nearly an instant bond, do about a foot at a time, just pull it through and do the next foot. After I've done the whole binding strip, I turn it over and do the other side to make sure it's bonded. When you are done, it holds well enough to glue in.

Acetone works fine laminating Stewmacs ABS bindings ... done many yards of it. (Actually, acetone will break down ABS scraps in a jar for touch up.)
I made a copycat device just using UHMW scrap blocks you often find in woodworking & hobby stores. Fairly easy to make & clean.
