From what I can see, it's might be sort of like tapping thread and installing reinforcing threaded rods, but actually it looks more high tech than that. The repair looks insanely good.
Jay mentioned that it was very expensive, so not the kind oif thing to use on a Taiwanese jointer! - But very interesting, regardless.
Do any of you guys know anything about this process?
