Anyone know what brand that is? It's the red one. Is it that Lamello brand?

Thanks guys. The pic on the link is the one I saw and is the Lamello. I noticed the link said they're expensive so I checked out Amazon. Wow!!!
Makes the Domino seem like a bargain Man I wished I had sponsors

That sure was a fun site to gander at. And lo and behold, Norm has used 3 Ryobi tools in a total of 4 episodes! I can't believe it!

what in the world makes that joiner worth 4-5 times that of any other brand???

I wonder how much his pencils cost and what they're made of?

I was told by an expert that Lamello jointers are the only ones that have 100% repeatability in their cuts. all others can be off just a little bit each time. I've never seen one myself.

A Lamello . His pencils probably cost $25.00 each, of course that is no expense to them when sponsors of the show are shoving money at them
by the truck load each and every week! It would be real easy to get eloborate with the best of everything when someone else is paying for it!

Wouldn't that be like a more accurate hand grenade? The way biscuit slots are oversized, to allow for some adjustments during assembly, I can't see how 100% repeatability would be meaningful.

I've never seen a Lamello in person, either.

I saw no reference to 'accuracy' .... I think he only said "100% repeatability"

which I took to mean that any inaccuracies are repeated exactly the same over and over again.

I guess at least if it's gonna screw up, you'll know EXACTLY which way it'll do it

You know, the biggest thing I hate about WWing shows is the whole marketing/ sponsorship thing. I hate when the shows turn into commercials hawking the products. Or, when they put tape over the Titebond glue bottle because they don't want a name to show on a non-sponsored product. I know it's all part of the game, and that's where a lot of income comes from- but I still find it irksome. I just want to know who really uses what, and why.

What, you mean EVERYONE doesn't do that?!? I thought you HAD to do that, in order to be considered a REAL woodworker:

Well i guess I just haven't graduated to the ranks of a tru woodworker. After all, I'm still building my workshop- I haven't even gotten to any real furniture yet.....
