Norm has used several different biscuit joiners, some even after the Lamello was introduced, but he has always come back to this one. They are expensive, however.

He has also had a couple of different versions of this one, although I won't be able to separate them out. I don't even know if they are actual different models or the same model with different handles. That's the most noticable variation. One handle is sort of like a pistol grip in line with the body, and the other (and seemingly current) version is as pictured at left.

Since Black & Decker bought Pentair Tools Group (parent entity of Delta and Porter-Cable) the Lamello hasn't been seen. I am somewhat distressed by the implication of that.
