Yesterday, I went on a tour at the offices of Colonial Saw, they are the next town over. They sell and distribute the Lamello line as well as the Striebig line, both made in Switzerland. This is the office for the entire country.
Their customer is mostly the small pro shop. The Lamello line includes the original biscuit joiner, a laminate trimmer, flush edge band trimmer and others. They are pricey compared to the pc line. They let me try all the tools out and they were amazing to use. The cuts were great and the functionality greater than the ones I have seen. I especially liked the clamping biscuits that they use (use every 4th biscuit and it hold the piece together) as well as the biscuits that are actually knock down. I was impressed with the line, but until yesterday, had never heard of them. I was wondering if anyone has any or if they had heard of them.
Also, I saw the Streibig panel saw line, boy if I had an extra $20k, this would be the tool for me. It was amazing and my dream tool if I ever make the plunge and open a bigger shop. Maybe someday.
