RE: Biscuit jointers,

Short of Lamello, what's a good biscuit jointer; Porter-Cable, DeWalt,
Makita, ... ? Any recommended sources and prices?

Thanx

The Porter Cable is the next best thing to Lamello.

Oops!! I was going by an earlier review that said it was one of the hardest
to change the blade in. They must have changed this.

All are good brands. I have a 5yo Dewalt and it has served me well.
Places like pricetool.com are a good place to look.

I'm using a DeWalt...Nice machine. The PC, according to reviews, is a bitch
when it comes to changing blades. Also there was some problem with the fence
alignment.

There's review of biscuit joiners (or jointers) in the latest Fine
Housebuilding.

Should have read the review in Fine Homebuilding, Keeter. On page 67
(Aug/Sep 2005 issue) it clearly states:

"Changing the blade was easier than on most of the tools and is
described in Porter Cable's well-illustrated manual."

Same here.

It's not a Lamello, but it's worked fine for me.

The PC does really small biscuits that my DeWalt won't, so keep that
in mind.

Thanx for help. I picked up a Porter Cable at a competitive price.
Option to do small biscuits swayed my decision.
