Lamello 101053UHMZ Top 20 S3 4 Amp Plate Joiner

The Lamello’s slide shoe, fence and multi-function stop square are all made from one piece of machine milled metal. Lamello is the only plate joiner in the world constructed like this. This quality of construction ensures perfect accuracy, literally for decades. Joints will always line up perfectly flush, saving you time, money and aggravation for years. Lamello’s plate joiner can cut grooves for 9 different biscuits without changing the cutting tool. The swiveling fence has positive stops at the most common cutting angles (0, 22.5, 45, 67.5 and 90 degrees). The multi-function stop square slides and locks on to the bottom of the slide shoe to make vertical use of the tool very quick and safe. The Top20S3 plate joiner also has Lamello’s patented step memory system. This allows the user to micro-adjust the cutter up or down in increments of 1/10th of an mm (4mm total distance from top position to bottom position). This makes joining offset pieces quick and accurate. The Top20S3 also features an electronic, soft start motor. If you’re looking for quality, durability, accuracy and versatility, the Lamello plate joiner can’t be beat. This unit comes in a wooden case and includes plate joiner with 6 tooth scoring cutter, dust bag, 36mm suction stub, 23mm suction stub, chip ejector stub, stop square, 4mm slip on plate, set of tools and owner’s manual. 6 tooth carbide tipped cutter with scoring teeth.

Simple preparation of joints even with projecting or rejecting areas. Soft start for smooth acceleration. Overload protection system prevents motor damage due to overheating.

Customer feedback:

1. I had an old SKIL biscuit joiner for years and it did an OK job, but it was tired and a new one was in my immediate future. I researched and asked friends and of course they all loved the one they had. Most satisfied were the Porter Cable folks. So I borrowed a friends PC and used it on my last project. Decent machine, but not a life long product for a busy woodworker and the adjustments didn't seem as easy as the Lamello. I decided to get the Lamello and waited for 3 or 4 months checking the price on Amazon daily and when it dipped to $649.00 I jumped on it. WOW! What a machine. I hated that it took me so long to pull the trigger, but it beats everything I have seen or used hands down. The adjustments are SIMPLE and ACCURATE!! This is clearly a case of you get what you pay for.

2. The only thing I can really say is...buy the best & forget the rest...you won't regret it. Or you can do like I did. First buy a cheaper biscuit joiner, find out you get what you pay for, then spend even more money to buy what you should've bought in the first place.
Just a superb biscuit joiner. Very nice soft start. Zero slop & I do mean zero. Pinpoint setting adjustments. Dust bag is OK, but it's a dust bag. Hook it up to a shop vac for complete dust control. If you want to use the Lamello Top 20 to join face frames or use it for other small applications, get the H-9 cutter head & applicably sized biscuits.
