I am looking for white ABS or similar.

0.125" tall, 0.04" thick (3mm x 1mm). 36-65" long (1-2 strips)

0.2" tall, 0.04" thick (5mm x 1mm). 36-65" long (2-4 strips)

Anybody have a source? Anybody have some?

Mike

LMII has some 0.040 thick but it is all 0.250 tall if that would work for you.

That macrostie binding trimmer looks quite nice. Don't need here, but may get.

I've got one of the binding trimmers and it's a remarkable device.

Barry,

Sounds like a solid recommendation. Did you buy the whole system? Also. does it work well with wood?

I bought the trimmer only. I use my own router and bit. Yes, it works well with wood or plastic.
