A swing-arm edge bander moves its gluing head on an arm, so the operator guides the panel around curves and corners while the machine applies glue and presses the tape. That makes it the tool for round tabletops, curved fronts and shaped parts, which a straight-line bander cannot feed. It also bands straight edges, so a small workshop can cover both with one machine.
MODEL SELECTION & PROCUREMENT
Swing-arm edge bander for straight and curved panels
Documented manufacturer: Dezhou Ruiao Woodworking Machinery
This Dezhou Ruiao swing-arm edge bander glues edge tape onto straight and curved panel edges. It takes tape 10 to 60 mm high and heats glue in an enlarged, insulated glue pot with five heating rods and automatic temperature control.
Documented machine and specification
This Dezhou Ruiao swing-arm edge bander glues edge tape onto straight and curved panel edges. It takes tape 10 to 60 mm high and heats glue in an enlarged, insulated glue pot with five heating rods and automatic temperature control. Feed speed is adjustable, glue is applied to both sides, and the glue shaft runs in a cast-steel support. Model code, feed speed and weight are given on the quotation.

What the swing-arm bander is built to do
Tape height and panel thickness
The 10–60 mm range is the height of the edge tape the machine accepts. Tape is usually a little higher than the panel is thick, with the overhang trimmed afterwards, so ask Ruiao for the matching panel thickness range.
Glue system
Five heating rods and an insulated, enlarged glue pot keep the glue at temperature over a long session, and automatic control holds the set temperature. Ruiao describes double-sided gluing; ask which surfaces the machine coats on your setup.

Trimming after gluing
On this machine, end trimming, corner rounding and flush trimming are separate steps. Ruiao sells trimming tools for that. For straight panels in volume, an automatic edge bander such as the Weihai Deli MFB104 glues and trims in one pass. The Pinmai PE-2C7J, also among the edge banders on this site, works the same straight-line way. Before banding, a CNC router like the Huawei SW2040 usually cuts the curved outline.
A trial on your own parts
Send a part with your tightest curve and the tape you use. Ask Ruiao to band it, trim it with the tools it proposes and record glue temperature and feed. Check the bond on the curve and the finished corners.

Buyer questions
Can it band my 25 mm panels?
Ask Ruiao for the panel thickness that matches the 10–60 mm tape range.
How tight a curve can it follow?
Send the radius and ask for a trial.
Does it trim the tape?
Trimming is a separate step with Ruiao's trimming tools. Ask which ones you need.
