Presumably this is so that you can set it to the standard 22.5 degrees. I would guess that with the system it uses, it would be quite difficult to find the space to put in additional stops for 22.5 degrees if they had set the resolution to 1 degree. Annoying though IMO - what if you want 20...

Very nice, Dave - I'll definitely check out Kerkythea if this is the quality of work that you (with a big emphasis on 'you' :lol:) can produce. Thanks! Cheers, Neil

Hi Les, I wish you had found it a week earlier - we could have given you lots of info when you visited! We lived in a thatched house up until May this year - it is a brilliant roofing material IMO. Basically there are two main types of thatch used in Ireland - water reed and straw. If the...

Thanks, Andy - I'd forgotten about your 'double trouble' :lol: 6 months to go, then... doesn't sound so bad... :-k Cheers, Neil

Hi MMD, You have my sympathies - I'm three months into my own little 'sabbatical' myself :roll: Thanks for letting us know that there is light at the end of the tunnel, Andy - although I was hoping it would be rather less than 18 months away! :cry: :lol: Cheers, Neil

Yep, I use one in the table. Much like the Hitachi, its built very well and I would expect it to last for years. Very nice hand-held as well incidentally, electric brake is very handy. Rubbish fence though. I wouldn't have thought you would get one for much less than £220 though... Make...

I know - it would take him a month then, Alf! :lol: Handy thing, that Edit button :wink: Cheers, Neil

he he, well I did tell you :P :lol: Cor, its like a free gloat, this - its going to take Philly a week to write his contribution :P I've been a lucky boy this year, not many bad purchases. Best purchases: Festool TS55 (yawn, looks like it will be making a few appearances on this...

Very nice, Philly - how about a rocker next? :D Cheers, Neil

Thanks for that, Chris - a useful tip. Cheers, Neil

Ah, thats cleared it up for me - thanks, Ray :). I thought that there might be a fiddle to get around the problem. I must admit, though, I'm still completely sold on the alternative fence design which makes this sort of joint less fiddly. Thanks very much for taking the time to do the...

Sorry, Argee, I'm sure I'm being stupid but I just can't see how this can work :?: At 90 degrees, fine, this is what the supplementary fence is desgned for. And at 45 degrees, fine as well as long as you are happy to use the little 45 degree notch in the supplementary fence, but at all other...

Welcome, Steve - it sounds like you'll fit right in! :lol: Cheers, Neil

The problem with this is that surely you have no control over the distance of your slot from the reference edge?? What if you want a double row of biscuits, referenced from the same edge? Don't get me wrong, the Lamello is obviously a great jointer, especially if you're mostly doing 90 degree...

:lol: :lol: :lol: I didn't notice that they had trimmed the body off with a nice curve - DM Tools' work, not mine :wink: Noely, we can't see the blood from that angle, you'll have to post another photo! Cheers, Neil

I think you'll find that the PC/DW has this facility too - in fact even my cheap Ferm does (the fence system on this is so similar to the Mafell that you have to conclude this is the machine which was ripped off for the Ferm design). In fact this is the difference that I'm talking about as...

This review from American Woodworker might be useful - its a bit old, but I don't think the main contenders have changed very much. Cheers, Neil

I'm sure that Argee will disagree, but as far as I can see, the fence design used by the Lamello (and lots of other makes) is very restrictive compared to the PC/Mafell/Dewalt type. Its fine if you're just knocking up simple carcases, but I can't see how it can work for something a bit more...

Great work, Alan :D - far superior to the one we bought for our little lad (born in July too as it happens) Cheers, Neil

Thanks, Woody - I'll put them on the shopping list :) Cheers, Neil
