A compact edge banding machine should be assessed by complete working envelope, smallest panel, required stations and utilities. YM-365 is 4,000 mm long in the current source, but the installation needs additional material and service clearance.

How to compare supplier answers
Put every quotation into one comparison sheet. Use the same panel, tape, adhesive, process stations, utilities, acceptance test, spare-parts scope, delivery basis and support requirements. A lower price with missing stations or services is not the same offer.
Ask who is responsible for each unresolved item and when it will be closed. Electrical configuration, compliance documents, packing, lead time, installation, warranty and payment terms should be fixed before the order is accepted.
