Lamello exhibited recently in Germany at Ligna and Interzum trade shows. Another new machine was unveiled, the new "TOP 21" biscuit joiner which will eventually replace the Top 20 S4 model. This new biscuit joiner offers all of the features and benefits of the Top 20 series including adjustable height cutter with step memory system, an 800 watt powerful motor, and now a newly designed base plate, swiveling front stop and stop square that are now are flush on both sides for efficient positioning of the machine on the edge of the work piece. The new stop square with smooth running, precise guidance provides fast, exact setting of the groove position. We expect to have Top 21 machines available in August of this year.

Biscuits versus Floating Tenons
Various new machines for wood joinery, such as the Festool Domino Joiner, have entered the market recently. While the Domino is a fantastic tool with its own stand-out features, we wanted to take some time to point out the benefits and the advantages of the Lamello Biscuit Joiner versus other joining techniques. These advantages include:
Speed: The Lamello biscuit joiner provides the fastest cutting time per joint. To change biscuit size, simply turn a knob. There is no need to change cutters for different size biscuits. Lamello's system includes glue applicators specific to biscuit joining which saves time while providing even and accurate glue spread.
Versatility: The Lamello biscuit joiner provides the ability to cut grooves for EIGHT different joining elements without a Lamello cutter change. It can also be used for wood repair, cabinet hinges, flush trimming of protruding edges, door trimming and cutting of shadow joints. A floating tenon machine can do floating tenons.
Lateral Tolerance: The biscuit joining technique is designed to allow for slight lateral play when joining two workpieces together. Other techniques such as mortise and tenon, dowel and pocket holes have to be cut with 100% accuracy or the joint will not be flush. This increases set up time and causes aggravating reworks.
Proven Results and Reliability: Millions of joints have been made with biscuits over the past 50 years and they aren't failing. Thousands of Lamello biscuit joiners have been used and their reliability is legendary.
Price: Although the Domino and the Lamello Top 20 machine will cost about the same, a more price conscious woodworker can get started with a Lamello Classic C3 and box of biscuits for about 1/2 the price of the Top 20 or a Festool Domino machine.
If you want to make mostly chairs and tables, a mortise and tenon machine is probably best. But if you are doing cabinetry, casework, panel glue-ups, solid wood edging or miter joints, a Lamello biscuit joiner is the most efficient, cost effective option for you.

Lamello Cantex Flush Milling Machine
Tired of trying to flush trim to melamine? You need the Lamello Cantex! The Lamello Cantex Ergo from is a flush milling machine for solid wood edges, featuring a new cutterhead design with an engraved scale. The helical cutting head, which comes with three carbide blades, induces a shearing cut for smooth cutting without chipping. Solid wood edged corners can be trimmed perfectly flush in one pass, and the machine is also great for minispot patches.

New Top 20 Biscuit Joiner from Lamello
There is a new Top 20 Biscuit Joiner from Lamello! The TOP 20 S4 Has a powerful 800 watt, 7.25 amp motor instead of the 600 watt motor of the previous Top 20 S3 model. This is the most powerful biscuit joiner motor ever from Lamello. This motor will also have a soft start feature as did the previous model. The brake on this tools is more responsive, stopping the cutter from rotating sooner than the previous model did. The design of this motor housing dispels motor fan air towards the front of the tool instead of upwards which clears sawdust from the work pieces that are being grooved. The Top 20 S4 will come standard in a wooden case with a dust collection bag.
We still have some Top 20 S3 tools in stock at 2008 prices. Once that stock is depleted the Top 20 S3 will no longer be available. We also have the new 800 watt TOP 20 S4 in stock and are processing orders for this new powerful machine.
