You might want to look at this Sears unit as well.

you know once you have tools you find other uses for it,, I dont like buying the same tool twice,, I have a bunce of things I need to build, I normally do rustic furniture with saplings,, but that escalated into other work as well,,,

that is a cool looking bench you have there, thansk for the input pat

I think you need a 5/32" slot cutter, but I'm out of the country so I can't check mine.

Paul, Lamellos are certainly not worth the money to most.

I paid $150 for a used one nearly 20 yrs ago from a large shop that had it set up stationary, heavy use. I've used it professionally since then. Often with the fence set other than 90�. Box-building being something I avoid.

Extremely durable tool.

Thank you. This little table also has several biscuits. It's almost entirely off my lathe.

Bench was inspired by some slabs left over from lumber-making. Hickory, sun-bleached from well over a decade in use.

Somewhat knowledgeable woodworkers have been known to ask if it's really safe to sit on the bench. There's no visible reason the foot joints work. Two #20s each. I'm picky about whose biscuits I buy.

Haven't tested that joint to failure, but it's good for at least 450 lbs of shifting occupants. Really large folks I direct elsewhere.

Biscuits are so easy, it's almost cheating.

Far as I know Freuds work well, no reason to expect short life. The motor doesn't work very hard on any of them.

Pat, so long as you are only dealing with 90� edges you'll be fine. My Lamello has an infinitely adjustable fence angle, necessary for some of the things I do.

Have fun!
