I have a custom kitchen build coming up and was going to make some long pieces, over 8' or almost 3m, so looking to build face frames that will not require clamps for assembly.With the recent Zeta threads, my curiosity for Lamello assembly methods has been resurrected. Anybody use the the fixo e-20, , for assembling a face-frame? Looks super quick but I was hoping someone could confirm the holding ability of the fixo since end grain glue attachment points are susceptible to failure.
Primarily, I use dominoes and coarse screws on top and bottom rails but was looking for something quicker and clamp-less. I know some people swear by pocket screws and I definitely think there are some great applications for pocket screws but just wondering about the self clamping biscuits.

You've reminded me to redo the order I started. That does look the business, and I have 2 cabinets to do.

You change it by first loosening the large Allen key bolt at the back of the base of the machine, slide the base forward until it comes off and exposes the blade. 4 screws hold the blade in place. I do not have a part number as the rest are several options

Well, they are worth a try, I'm ordering a pack to see how they perform.

Ordered a 400 pack at $.30/per piece, smaller packs are almost double the price, and then the vendor replied that they're back ordered. I thing colonial saw was/is the lead vendor for Lamello, and they only carry 80 packs, so we'll see if the order comes through.
I also checked Tobias's stock, they carry a 1200 pack, better price point but I need to vet this first batch. That website is dangerous, every time I'm there, I check the Zeta price and think about how much I'll be saving vs US prices...question is, does using a transformer cost me $500. in aggravation for the extra set-up time. Me thinks not.

Me thinks not. I am getting an order ready. i would not mind splitting a large pack if you someone to go halves on anything. i a have 1200 in the cart already, but I can prolly use all 300 Clampex. looking at a true position puck light jig. So it will be handy that I can take apart stuff.
