I get a ton of questions about the Lamelo Zeta P2 joiner and theP System connectors that I used in my Media Console build • Mid Century Modern Med... and my Kitchen Cabinet build • How To Make Frame-less... videos. Hopefully this will fully answer any questions you may have. If it doesn't, please ask!

Guy, thanks; I am looking into getting another Lamello machine after 30 years of a TopTen with now a limited supply of parts for such an old machine. Your presentation is clear and easy to understand and that is good for us to see. There is really not that much difference in the upper models costs as I can see. My business is wood products and furniture from solid woods in the higher end make. Chicago

Great video with information that is exactly what is required to understand what the Lamello can actually do. I have considered buying one of these, but as a retired hobbyist, in Aus they cost over $2,000, so I will just have to make do with the Festool domino for the time being.

@bighands69 3 жыл бұрын

I would suggest also considering just a normal biscuit jointer from Lamello as they can do really accurate easy joints. The festool domino can sometimes be a little bit too much hard work when doing cabinets.

One of the best videos on this tool. Peter Millard's is also good. There is a learning curve for this machine. Lamello makes it look sooo easy, it isn't. Definitely practice with it first. Also I didn't realize the fence isn't a geared pinion system like most traditional biscuits joiners. Harder to get to exact center, so remembering indexed face you are working from necessary. Also narrow pieces, need to use the domino or you come out the sides.

Great video Guy as always. I bought one these a couple of years ago after watching you use it in a project and watching it on a couple of other channels. I remember thinking that I learned more about the machine from you than I did from the manufacturer’s videos as well as the distributors videos. I think they forget that many times someone looking at their videos are new to that particular piece of equipment. You must have been a teacher in a former life because you break things down quickly and make it easy to follow and understand. And I still managed to learn a few things so thank you! And on the subject of learning things.... do you have a video out on the Powermatic Bandsaw that was in the background? I have a probably 18 year old 18” Jet bandsaw with the steel spine and have been thinking about upgrading to the 18 or 20 inch Powermatic unit you have. Mainly for two reasons.... the ability to quickly release blade tension and the guides on your bandsaw are a much better quality than the ones on my Jet. And I haven’t been able to locate a quick release tension kit or upgraded guides. If you have a video please provide the link.... and if you don’t can you do one on the bandsaw when time permits??? Thanks Guy I always enjoy your videos! Ron

I noticed you never tried to wobble the pieces when you joined them and said it is very strong joint. I purchased this machine and yesit is strong if you try to pull apart but there is a little movement from side to side when you pull push a little. So what that for the Lamello sales? should be honest a bit more

It costs loads it's true. When it arrived I was so excited and then it takes a bit of getting used to but this thing is just amazing. You can make very precise connections but what's beautiful is even if you are fractionally misaligned it'll still work great. You can clamp your pieces together with the clamax and they'll slide sideways following a gentle tap. Mind-blowing! You can put your furniture together, take it apart and put it together on site again and they'll still work like new. Most importantly, they'll let you work on your own most of the time. I'll never go back. This has let me move onto the next level. It's a pleasure to work with and you get a perfectly square, neat and stable build.

@@bighands69 🇺🇸 Hello. Thank you for your sincere comment. The problem of the Western consumer is to be deeply materialistic. On KZfaq, around wood or DIY, there are two main families: 1) DIY enthusiasts who focus on their machines, their workshops, improving their tools, their methods ... them. Of commercial worthy. 2) DIY enthusiasts who show what they are doing with their tools, without focusing on these tools. =================== Excuse me, with $ 20,000, we buy wood. Unfortunately, DIY enthusiasts 1, make broom cupboards, garden tables, the dog kennel or the bedroom nightstand. That's kind of what I see with huge American kitchens, in home improvement TV shows ... making popcorn, grilled marshmallow, pancackes or burgers. The Western consumer (the same as Gucci clothes) is incorrigible. He has a buying fever. He is stronger than him, he needs to be reassured by spending. This Western consumer is hypersensitive to the flattery of salespeople who keep telling him that he is a PROFESSIONAL, that he is worth it, that he deserves it, that this machine is essential to him (until the next). The truth ? There are no bad tools, there are only bad workers. Herewith, some videos which force my admiration. I hope you like it. Cordially.
