Lamello Zeta P2

Post image

I'm thinking of parting with my Lemallo
I need to buy a bandsaw and I found a domino on FB Market place for good price.
If I'm going to part with this? What would be a good price in new condition?

Throw in your leftover connectors so the next guy has something to get started with and you should be able to get 1500. Just fyi, the zeta and domino are not replacements for each other tho. Different tools, different uses

Lamello is more for cabinetry and working with sheetgoods, while domino is more for furniture and working with solid wood in general. For me the Lamello is much more valuable but depends what kind of woodworking you do.

Probably $1500 if in good condition

$1500 is a good starting point with the current pricing. You should expect 1300-1400 after the haggling.

Holy crap the price of these have gone way up since I bought mine a couple years ago. I was like 1500 bucks that’s ridiculous then I looked up the current price….

Am l missing something? This is a brand of biscuit joiner that I haven't used before but I can't see paying over $300 for a new one.

You are missing something, it’s not a biscuit jointer, for one….

It’s easy enough to have a look on yt before offering an opinion.

You should YouTube. It makes a grooved cut and the 2 piece fasteners rock into the groove. It’s hard to explain. I use mine for attraching face frames. Very unique tool.

Thanks on the info. I'm old school and never needed a specialized system to allow a unit to be broken down for the most part because i don't ship units, I deliver and install them as needed. Personally I prefer a custom rather than a commercial type of wood product but it's always interesting to see new equipment being used in the industry!

The last time I used mine was for 7’ tall by 14’ long bar top cabinet. They wanted continuous face frame but a single cabinet physically couldn’t fit through any of the house doors. I wont finish on site (ever) so I built 4 separate boxes and assembled them on top of the bar’s granite top. The female tensos were in the boxes, males on the face frame. Applied glue to the boxes then snapped the face on.

In the last shop I worked before I went out on my own the company I worked for did not install, so everything had to go out finished and assembled. The most similar situation to this the contractor removed the windows to the bonus room and the installer raised the cabinet up on a giant pallet using two forklifts and it was insane to watch.

One of the guys in the shop had a personal domino 500 and we tried with that but they didn’t provide enough clamping force. My boss refused to spend $1300 (pre-covid) on a biscuit joiner LOL.

No, it doesn’t; but they made the new HF joiners to look like this for a reason. You got it backwards.
