This is a tool that is meant for work! This company sets the standard for bisquit joiners.
It is simple to operate, powerful and consistent. At first look it is deceptive, but look a little longer and you readily see the high quality engineering and design that went into this joiner. If you spend 10 minutes getting to know the tool when it arrives you will know what you need to to run this tool. It is sturdy and does the job with precision.
It can be used in a vertical or horizontal positions with different sizes of biscuits. Changing from one size to another/and depth of cut is very easy.
You can probably tell I like this tool. I wish all tools were made this well. I spent the extra dollars for the Lamello C3 hoping I would get what I was paying for. I have not been disappointed. Spend the extra bucks. It worth it and this joiner will save you the frustrations that I have experienced in the other named brand trying to replicate the Lamello.
Highly recommend

I have used thousands of biscuits; I have owned a Virutex plate joiner and after I wore it out I bought a Dewalt which i just gave a way. I decided to splurge (I am a professional woodworker) and i wish i had bought the Lamello years ago, they used to be over $600 I think. With discounts and the simplified design (no biscuit height adjustment in relation to the base) this one was "affordable", Thanks Amazon! It does everything precisely with a smooth slide action, fairly quiet motor and gears, and the blade change is price less. You do not have to dis-assemble half the fence and lose the little screws and springs as was the case with the other ones. It doesn't quite align in biscuit height with the others so you will want to start on a new project, not in the middle of one. It also is probably metric machined so it is a bit off center in a piece of 3/4 ply, referenced from the base. But I can live with this. Life's too short don't deny yourself.

my former plate joiner was a porter cable and needed a replacement.
i chose the Lamello because of name recognition. i was amazed by the simplicity and accuracy, well worth the extra money. i highly recommend this item. make sure you use the biscuits from lamello as well.

own a dewalt and heard the lamello was more accurate . i found the portacable and dewalts in the stores all had the same amount of wiggle as the one i owned .purchased the c-3 and found i now own a totally different machine .with this everthing lines up every time ,all the slots are the same size .cost more but the old one could not do what the c-3 does.
