I say the domino more for furniture just because it works on smaller pieces. 700 of course for bigger stuff, and that machine certainly has some unique advantages. Not to say that furniture hasn't been doweled. As far as forgiveness goes, you have some play with lamello's P accessories as well. No cross movement with the dowels unless you buy those odd sized bits.

The expensive Lamello "P" system may be over the top as the OP indicates he does not need to dismantle. Maybe he can use the standard biscuits and all the other ingenious joining elements for which the Classic X can be used and is way cheaper than the Domino/DD40 solutions. As some of you know that is what I choose a few months ago. However it would of course not be up to making beds and stuff like that.
I think the combination of a Lamello (Zeta or Classic X) and DD40 would be the dogs Cojones.

The zeta is not cheap but it creates a mechanical joint where others do not. Classic x also has some great options for joining. So much to choose from. As is the beauty of this forum there's a million opinions and no right answer.

Domino for furniture, DD for casework. Consider using a plunge router with DIY jigs to make mortices for loose tenons for larger scale projects.

No, I'm referring to the use a router and a jig to make two matching mortices which are filled with a loose tenon. Basically a domino joint made without the domino machine. A common technique before inexpensive hollow chisel mortisers and of course, the domino it's self.
Yup, lots of ways to drill holes for dowels, some better others. I've had a set of dowel transfer pins for maybe 30 years, never could get consistently good results. Lots of companies make dowel drilling jigs including Stanley BITD. Most of them do a fine job of locating the holes for furniture applications. Not so good for casework.

nucone : sorry what I meant by linear was bicuits / lamelos would be more suited for projects involving straight lines / shapes. Probably why people say that the domino would be more for furniture ? Now I understand, you are correct but the joinery is best cut before the curve is put on. As noted earlier, the Domino will work with much narrower pieces than the DD40. My rule of thumb for minimum workpiece width for the DD40 is 32mm + [3 x diameter of dowel used]. I made a video of curved joints with the Domino a while back which is the bed project I mentioned earlier. The link is: Curved joinery with the Domino

Nucone, great video. As soon as I started watching it I realised I've watched one before, but can't remember what it was about? Maybe it was linked from the FOG? Really like your spindle moulder - is it a Felder?

Really like your spindle moulder - is it a Felder? Thanks, I had posted it on the FOG and was part of the build for a Greene & Greene style bed. The spindle moulder is a Minimax T55I which I happen to have listed for sale on Craigslist. I have a Felder Format 4 on order and it should be arriving in February. Alas, tools and machinery are not really solids but are gases which expand to conform and fill whatever shape and size container in which they are placed.

Just had a look at your channel - it was the lamello review, that I watched.
