I have this doweller machine for years ....I make rustic style quality furniture and all my board tops for tables , end tables are dowel together...This makes my work faster & perfect fit .. Just wish the drill bits didn't cost so much money...I have over 100 hours and my machine is still like new condition...I do take care of all my tools. This is better than ANY doweller jig or machine out there..
I new it! I new it...I've been seeing Festool Domino everywhere and I kept thinking to myself that it was a great product but rediculously expensive. About $1, 500 in Australia! I thought why can't someone come up with a dual dowell unit. Everyone makes a biscuit joiner. And here it is!!! Bloody brilliant Alan. Thanks.
AD I know, triton is shit. I returned twice. First I thought I might be having the bad egg. Then exchanged for another one, it was same. You can't align with triton. It's impossible to have good joints with triton.
There's a video of a review on the Triton and it is shit. Out of the box the guy had to make multiple adjustments to the unit to get it to be square and usable.
Hola estimado, es una maravilla la maquina, me encantaria tenerla para mis trabajos de Muebles de tableros, en Chile donde la puedo adquirir o otro lugar, favor indicar valor $ gracias.
This tool is $1200 dollars. I would never in my life pay even half that much. This is the old bought out Feude tool that was about a third of the cost, It's the same tool.
Brilliant! It's too expensive for me but I would prefer this to a domino any day. Far more flexibility and precision and dowels are actually stronger than dominos.
@@ThickAsSeveralPlanks The only problem with the Mafell LNF20 series is that they do not have a systems approach. They do not sell alternative types of biscuit joints. It is an amazing stand alone machine but if they took a systems approach it could be a rival to the Lamello.
If we look at the grain direction on any size dowel of any species; there is strength in the wood dowel due to long grain. The Festool, like the Lamello wood plate is made from wood fiber pressed-compacted into shape and grain direction is not there. Therefore we do not have the inherent strength. Probably have to go up in cross section some 35-40% in a Domino dowel to match a long grain wood dowel. I would like to buy both Domino machines; but, me wife wants to eat everyday. I am thinking of the Triton duo dowel with some redesign in the alignment elements. $200 for the Triton new and then add another $235 worth of fix. Still not at the $1000 price tag of the Mafell duo dowel tool. And, one can get those metric dowels on the net or buy the Nielsen metric dowel chase and make custom matching species dowels and play from there. Depends what you want to make in a certain species of wood.
@@vincentrolfe1384 Triton is a dreadful tool. If they put a few hundred Euro extra on the machine it could be a best sell and still cheaper than others on the market. I suspect that they have it on licence and as such they cannot justify the investment
@@kunstsein In the UK it would have cost a couple of weeks wages in America it would have been cheaper probably about half a weeks wage for a good plane.
@@kunstsein Because the American economy was far stronger than the British economy. America was based on a market economy and Britain was based on a regulated economy. This meant that American purchasing power was greater. In the 1960s an Buick car could be had for about $3000 but would have been at the quality of a $10,000 Mercedes. I was not thinking so much about 150 years ago but in our grandfathers day so as in the last 100 years. Unless the person writing the message was in his 90s and his father had him in his 90s and so on.

What a clever machine, that looks like it's really easy and fun to work with.

This is my very first time seeing this tool. Never knew this even existed. It’s pretty f****ng awesome.😊👍🏾

Sadly, the price is about the same. The prices are ridiculous!
Oh well.
pat dee quality comes at a premium
Morley Meble I have one, this is the best tool i own
+David Handley check out the GMC double doweler, less than $100 if you can find one around AUS. They are great.

Hey wow thanks for that. I will try to track one down......I can see that they are now being made by Triton. Thanks!!!
Exceeded my expectations
I want one.
Anyone know how this compares to the MUCH lower priced Triton doweller?

If you are woodworking for a living that tool is cheap. Making joints by hand can be very time consuming and thus expensive.
una macchina fatta in serie il costo e molto alto...dimezzate il costo.

Is this Jimmy Carr doing commercials now?
Nico Smets that joke makes no sense, they don’t look similar, don’t sound similar, and don’t even have the same accent?
Hi, excellent review...!!! Really great...!!!
Don't know about this but I wish Bosch would duplicate Lamello C3 Biscuit Joiner.
Take a look at the Mafell LNF20 - same quality, lower price, and a few features all it's own

una bellissima fresa.
la comperai forse otto anni orsono la trovo molto valida ma brucia le punte
in seguito ho saputo che hanno modificato il numero giri motore ed hanno risolto il problema
There must be an improvement on Dd40p' depth stop, it is extremely unreliable

Fine looking tool but I prefer the Festool Domino 700 because the Domino tenons I think are stronger than dowels.
Nope. Tests prove dowel joints are actually stronger. Fine Woodworking did an article on that very thing. This slays the domino.
If we look at the grain direction on any size dowel of any species; there is strength in the wood dowel due to long grain. The Festool, like the Lamello wood plate is made from wood fiber pressed-compacted into shape and grain direction is not there. Therefore we

The festool domino works more accurate..!
No it does not.
Easy fellas
I love it too but it actually also costs as much as the domino......
$1500 , check it out for your self
Way to much in price. If our grandfathers were still alive, they all would be laughing at us.
Lie-Nielsen Toolworks argued, that back in that day, a high quality hand plane would set you back a couple of weekly wages.
@@kunstsein
In the UK it would have cost a couple of weeks wages in America it would have been cheaper probably about half a weeks wage for a good plane.
@@bighands69
Because the wages in Britain were lower then in northern America 150years ago, or because the same tools were cheaper in America?
@@kunstsein
Because the American economy was far stronger than the British economy. America was based on a market economy and Britain was based on a regulated economy.
