Not as useful as #20's, but still a great deal
For years I have been using P-C biscuits in my woodworking projects. Since I work with alot of 3/4" - 5/4" wood, I use #20 biscuits more than the smaller #10 and #00, but I have found that these #10 biscuits excell at reinforcing mitered corners.

I have not had any significant amount of "bad" biscuits from Porter-Cable. There is an occasional thick one - meaning it either didn't get compressed as it should have or it swelled from moisture - but these are few and far between.

Basically, I have had nothing but good luck with these so I highly recommend them!

Good quality at a fair price

Amazon.com Review

Though this Porter-Cable tool is priced higher than comparable DeWalt and Makita models, the 557K is Amazon.com's top-selling plate joiner. Its success is perhaps due to its very powerful 7-1/2 amp motor--the largest in the industry--which turns the blade at 10,000 rpm and does an excellent job of making clean cuts in any kind of wood. As well as cutting slots for the standard no. 0, 10, and 20 biscuits, Porter-Cable's joiner features an exclusive, full-thickness, FF biscuit developed especially for cabinet face frames. Another unique feature of the Porter-Cable joiner is the 2-inch blade (included), which is small enough to make cuts in stock as narrow as 1-1/2 inches. We found the micro height adjustment works well, allowing for precise biscuit placement. The tool is well balanced and comfortable to use. --Michael Shilling ... Read more

• Includes 1,000 biscuits (a $19.99 value)

Product Description

Simple & easy to use, it's the best accessory your biscuit machine can have. A necessity for safe and accurate work - it's the third hand you frequently need. Positions the stock accurately and guides the biscuit joiner. Cuts biscuit slots in edges, ends, faces (near the edge or end), miters and bevels. 15-3/4" square platform with all fences and guides set by knobs - no tools required. We tested the Biscuit Master by giving it to a contractor. Later I called him to get his feedback and have him return it. He confessed when he received it he didnt think they would use it. Unfortunately (for him) they had come to depend on it and he wanted to know how long before he could get it back. We think you'll feel the same way. Reviewed in Wood Magazine August 2000 Five Star Rating (the best) for performance & value. ... Read more

Enjoy your work
This is the best plate joiner that I ever used, perfectly made, very accurate and worth the money. If you think you are an expert woodworker you have to have it.

The best of the best
Although my Lamello is over 15 years old the design and quality has changed very little over the years. After all there is very little one can do to improve on perfection. This is a standard tool in just about every professional shop I have ever worked in or visited, and I would recommend this item without hesitation.

Costly... yes. But try and tell me there is no cost in screwing around with a tool in order to just use it, or having work ruined because of a mis-adjustment. Plate joinery is a high precision task, therefore a high precision tool is required and the Lamello gets 5 stars in this regard. My Lamello comes out of the box, gets used, and gets put away, no muss no fuss, perfection everytime; and has done so for 15 years and will likely be around for my grand children to use when I pass on.

I can't comment on service relative to this product as I've never had mine serviced, and in almost 30 years of woodworking have I ever met anyone who has done more than change the blade when it gets dull. That in itself is quite a testament to the durability and longevity of this product.

At one time all woodworking tools & machinery were made the way Lamello make their tools. It's a joy to find a company that still manufacture products to the highest standards possible.

Feels Great, a little pricey
I have used a Dewalt joiner for years, and thought I would upgrade. A very fine piece of engineering. Handles great. Would recommend a little notch on the left as well as the right side to help with perpendicluar joining. Would I buy it again? Yes, but only cause I want the best. Wouldn't be that upset if I had to go back to my Dewalt again.

Just the best
I have been using other jointers but nothing like this one. If you like an engineered product that feels well made, not plastic, accurate this is the tool for you. It is a pleasure to work with and although expensive compared to other models I wish I had bought it years ago and saved the wasted money on other models. Well we all live and learn, it's often cheaper in the long run to simply buy the best.

Best joiner money can buy
It's like butter! And such a price...compare to other on-line retailers or even items on eBay. ... Read more

Army Knives aren't the only useful tool from Switzerland
I recently purchased the C2 to replace craftsman plate joiner I have been using for for some time. The craftsman did a reasonable job cutting slots for face frames and glue-ups. My two major complaints with it were:
1)I always had trouble keeping it from "walking" when putting a slot into the center of a large flat surface.
2)It seemed so clunky and for lack of a better term: "lacked elegence" (meaning it didn't seem manufactured to fit the contours of a human hand)

The C2 answers both of these complaints very well. Its action is so smooth, it makes slot cutting almost effortless. Their are two very grippy rubber "feet" that restrict the joiner's tendancy to walk when cutting slots into the center of a horizontal surface. (Alot like the little rubber nubs on the dewalt)

The C2 has plenty of power to easily work with maple, oak, birch, or any other hardwood you put in front of it. It also fits so well in my hand, I can generally operate it one-handed.

Upon unpacking it, I immediately checked the accuracy of the positive stops on its swivel fence, and was happy to find they were dead on.

After ordering the C2, I realized that purchasing a swiss made tool could result in service/parts availability issues. Upon reading the included documentation, I was happy to discover that Lamello has a US service provider in Kingston, Mass. (Kingston just happens to border on the town I live in, which left me feeling much better about the C2's longevity).

I have been using the C2 for about 2 months (500 slots or so), and I have only one complaint. Rather than arriving with a form fitting case, the C2 arrived in a generic plastic tool box you could purcahse at a home center for $5 (of course a little transparent lamello sticker had been placed on the lid). This makes transporting the joiner more of a chore than it should be. I cut some foam inserts for the box to keep the tool from getting bashed during transport, but it would be so much easier to just to put the tool back into an appropriately molded case.

The C2 is the best plate joiner I have used, and was worth the premium price. I would actually rate 4.5 stars (as the cheapo case shouldn't merit a full point deduction).

Great Tool
This is a great tool. It is very well made. The plunge-action is very smooth and preceise. The fense operates easily and the posistive stops is very accurate. It is quiet and the chip blow-out works well, goes out the righthand side of the tool. It is of course possible to attach it to your dust-extraction (might need some extras). I has 2 rubber pads on the front to prevent it from skiding, and it works fine, no skiding.
A high quality tool !!

I think well worth it
I am fairly picky and actually had both the Lamello and the Dewalt side by side to see if the latter was worth the extra. The DeWalt's fence is quicker to adjust, and is probably fine for many applications, but there was some noticeable play, and the Lamello had absolutely none. Also, the Dewalt fence is not quite as versatile, but requires less set-up. What convinced me to mail the DeWalt back and not the Lamello is that when cutting, the Lamello never skidded even when messing around with just one hand.. The Dewalt did skid some unless I paid attention to what I was doing. Also, the Lamello has a clutch, and cuts very smoothly, quietly, and is made with a significantly more metal than DeWalt. It is easy to see why it costs more. While I am sure people can do a fine job with even the least expensive model out there, the Lamello gives you quite a bit more for the extra money.

Simply worth it....
If you use biscuit joinery a lot, it is worth it to have a better tool. Lamello simply makes a more solid, powerful and clean tool than the competition. It costs more to not get the mass production vendors, but it is a better tool. Like a Fein shop vacuum, the quality is just worth it here versus PC or DeWalt. When I used the DeWalt, it threw sawdust all over me. Wierd engineering that. ... Read more
