Welcome to the forum.

Do you mean this one?

Yep, that's the one. Do you know anything about it?

Cheers

What's the story with the green body? (on the one for sale on the 'bay)

That's what I'm trying to get to the bottom of. Nobody seems to recognise it as a Lamello.

I have the Dewalt and it works just fine if you ask me.

The DeWalt DW682k is one that I'm interested in; however, I read a review that said that the fence could only be adjusted to 89 degrees. Therefore, it was not possible to get true 90 degree accuracy. I've yet to find one in stock at a dealers to check for myself.

The Porter Cable 557 also seems to have a good reputation, altho not readily available in the UK for the sort of prices that you can purchase it for in the States.

Still got half an eye of the DeWalt DW685K, although I've yet to find anyone who had sufficient use of one to be able to give a good review of one compared to more "normal" jointers.

Can't beat a PC 557, better than a Lamello through design, half the price.

Mr McVitie? :shock:

If you want to bait a Lamello fan, d'you put a biscuit on a hook...? :-k I do like the PC, I must say. And if you want that garish Red Lamello look you can always get the "Flex" version... :wink:
