I have built a couple laminate counter tops, a desk top for a home office and a top for a center island over the last 6 months and on each one I have problems when using a PC laminate router with a flush bearing bit while trimming the top after doing the edges. I get the router bit into the edge banding of the project and cut into the laminate. Makes for a poor looking job with the laminate surface scarred on the edge in places. Is there a technique for keeping the trimmer from tilting slightly when routing the top? The height adjustment on the PC trimmer leaves much to be desired and there is no micro adjustment for the depth of the base. Has anyone tried the Bosh or Dewalt laminate trimmer kits versus the Porter Cable? The one I am using is an older model, (do not have the number at the moment.) Thanks for any information or guide lines CC
