Lamello's Zeta P2 and P System Connectors

[@robertg-g2l]

Thank you for the excellent video, it made the process of getting started with P2 a piece of cake.

[@davecurda2350]

When I saw your video pop up in my feed I was very happy then I saw it was not a furniture build video and it was disappointing. I am really missing your great furniture projects . I think I have watched all your videos a couple of times now. You do such great work please make more videos. Hope you are well.

[@GuysShop]

I have not really built anythingin my shop in a while. Making a lot at my day job though...

[@davecurda2350]

You really inspire me with your woodworking skills. Can you film at your day job? Is the business yours or do you work for someone else?

Awesome, thank you!

[@jonathanraith5250]

Thanks, Guy, for taking the time in putting together such a well thought out and explained video!

[@GuysShop]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vincentrolfe1384]

Guy, thanks; I am looking into getting another Lamello machine after 30 years of a TopTen with now a limited supply of parts for such an old machine. Your presentation is clear and easy to understand and that is good for us to see. There is really not that much difference in the upper models costs as I can see. My business is wood products and furniture from solid woods in the higher end make. Chicago

[@GuysShop]

Sounds great!

[@janpiesiak4742]

Best tutorial about Zeta P2

[@GuysShop]

Thanks so much!

[@mrobert232]

Thanks for putting this together, Guy. Great explanation of the different connectors and their required settings. Now you need to do an expert level one on angled butt/miterjoinery - that always has me scratching my head.

[@GuysShop]

You're welcome!

[@extremewoodworker]

Well done Guy. Called Colonial Saw today and ordered some of those Flexus connectors and the Wheel of Fortune (was not included in the older Zeta P2 machines)

[@GuysShop]

Thanks! I've used that wheel a few times,and it's handy to have whenyou need it.

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Cool system, Guy. I especially like the tenso fittings

[@GuysShop]

Hey Charlie! It is an amazing system. You shlould take a look at the video I did making a flat pack media center with it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3fTYmOwgt-mfdk

[@samsabastian5560]

Great video with information that is exactly what is required to understand what the Lamello can actually do. I have considered buying one of these, but as a retired hobbyist, in Aus they cost over $2,000, so I will just have to make do with the Festool domino for the time being.

[@GuysShop]

Dig it!

[@bighands69]

I would suggest also considering just a normal biscuit jointer from Lamello as they can do really accurate easy joints. The festool domino can sometimes be a little bit too much hard work when doing cabinets.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

You make it look so useful, it has become very tempting to get one. Next kitchen build, i'll cost in a Lamelo 😂👍

[@GuysShop]

That's always a great way to bring in new tools/equipment

[@ericdillenberger7873]

One of the best videos on this tool. Peter Millard's is also good. There is a learning curve for this machine. Lamello makes it look sooo easy, it isn't. Definitely practice with it first. Also I didn't realize the fence isn't a geared pinion system like most traditional biscuits joiners. Harder to get to exact center, so remembering indexed face you are working from necessary. Also narrow pieces, need to use the domino or you come out the sides.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks for the info!

[@ericdillenberger7873]

@@GuysShop i know you know all this. 🙂Its the other potential buyers I was giving a heads up to.

[@bunkersaver4980]

Hello guy, another great video. This is off topic, but I seem to remember a video on your technique for joining beveled edges with the domino, but I cannot find the video. Thanks.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

Great video Guy! I can't wait to get my hands on one of these awesome machines.

[@GuysShop]

You should!

[@1960fusion]

it is now available in a cordless version for about $400 more, if you were to purchase one today, would you still buy the corded version? i have used a lamello biscuit joiner for over 30 years now, great product.

[@GuysShop]

I would just get the one with a cord since it would be hooked up to dust collection.

[@1960fusion]

@@GuysShop that was my thought and i would be using it exclusively in my garage shop, not in the field. thanks for your response and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@FranksDIY]

Great video Guys. I looked into that system 2 years ago at the woodworking show and loved it then but for a hobey guy like me not worth the price tag but for a person running a business maybe. Still a great system

[@GuysShop]

Right on

[@norberts482]

I personally started to allow me to spend more money for my hobbies because it’s hobby saying to myself it’s an invest in my personal pleasure (meaning lot’s of things I made would have been less expensive by just buying it, but the pleasure I have during I build those things are my „target“ ;)

[@bighands69]

WIth one lamello machine you could cover your workshop, kitchen, living room, hallways, bedrooms and bathroom in cabinets. Get a professional out to do that and it will cost a lot more than the machine.

[@veloran]

The simplicity of the design is fascinating! i was waiting for a tension test, the material is plastic so you have to wonder how sturdy is it.

[@GuysShop]

Great point!

[@ronh9384]

They have their weight capacities listed on their website.

[@ChristopherClaudioSkierka]

would you use this machine with chipboard core?

[@justinpuskas]

Awesome video, can’t wait until I can justify the need for this awesome machine.

[@GuysShop]

Good luck!

[@travasco_]

Im debating if I should get the Zeta P2 or the DF 500 domino tool. Do you ever use the domino tool? I have a couple kitchens and and various other cabinets to build. I would prefer a tool that doesn't require me to use clamps during glue up, but I'm worried about durability and longevity with the tenso clips.

[@mladenmartinov2432]

I have both lamello is great but all connectors are very very very expensive 😢

[@thejoeldanger]

Why would you be worried about the durability and longevity of the tenso? Its only use is to keep things lined up while the glue dries. The glued joint is durable and will last if done correctly.

[@ChristopherClaudioSkierka]

I noticed you never tried to wobble the pieces when you joined them and said it is very strong joint. I purchased this machine and yesit is strong if you try to pull apart but there is a little movement from side to side when you pull push a little. So what that for the Lamello sales? should be honest a bit more

[@garyrobinson6175]

Great info. Hope you're doing well. Keep up the great vids.

[@diycentral]

Thanks Guy! Been waiting for this one from ya. Have always been interested in the system since you first posted about it. Would like to use it on outdoor projects, for Azek decking joints. Clearly looks like the access hole for the key is bigger than their plug holes. I'm sure something could be figured out though.

[@GuysShop]

Noted!

[@cedricmiauton8559]

Might be a stupid question...but can the new Flexus P14 / Medius P10 replace all non Tenso lamello ?

[@GuysShop]

All the different connectors have their place. The Flexus really shines for adding shelves and the tenso is great for self clamping joints

[@MINGLE2008]

Hi thanks for sharing the very interesting video. Stay safe.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks, you too!

[@vincentrolfe1384]

From 30 years of TopTen I must ask if you have noticed the need to lube the slides on your newer model just about every time you use it? My machine is in good condition because I lube the slides all the time and I can feel the resistance in the action if it needs some lube.

[@GuysShop]

I do use a silicone spray when I feel it getting a little tight

Great video Guy as always. I bought one these a couple of years ago after watching you use it in a project and watching it on a couple of other channels. I remember thinking that I learned more about the machine from you than I did from the manufacturer’s videos as well as the distributors videos. I think they forget that many times someone looking at their videos are new to that particular piece of equipment. You must have been a teacher in a former life because you break things down quickly and make it easy to follow and understand. And I still managed to learn a few things so thank you! And on the subject of learning things.... do you have a video out on the Powermatic Bandsaw that was in the background? I have a probably 18 year old 18” Jet bandsaw with the steel spine and have been thinking about upgrading to the 18 or 20 inch Powermatic unit you have. Mainly for two reasons.... the ability to quickly release blade tension and the guides on your bandsaw are a much better quality than the ones on my Jet. And I haven’t been able to locate a quick release tension kit or upgraded guides. If you have a video please provide the link.... and if you don’t can you do one on the bandsaw when time permits??? Thanks Guy I always enjoy your videos! Ron

[@GuysShop]

Thanks so much Ron! And yes, thesere is a video on the PM1500 bandsaw on my channel.

Yes, it may be. However it has its place in the shop, and I am damn glad I have it available if the solution fits

[@ackec-umsekkruch-ekucki952]

It costs loads it's true. When it arrived I was so excited and then it takes a bit of getting used to but this thing is just amazing. You can make very precise connections but what's beautiful is even if you are fractionally misaligned it'll still work great. You can clamp your pieces together with the clamax and they'll slide sideways following a gentle tap. Mind-blowing! You can put your furniture together, take it apart and put it together on site again and they'll still work like new. Most importantly, they'll let you work on your own most of the time. I'll never go back. This has let me move onto the next level. It's a pleasure to work with and you get a perfectly square, neat and stable build.

[@philippegraipin772]

@@bighands69 🇺🇸 Hello. Thank you for your sincere comment. The problem of the Western consumer is to be deeply materialistic. On KZbin, around wood or DIY, there are two main families: 1) DIY enthusiasts who focus on their machines, their workshops, improving their tools, their methods ... them. Of commercial worthy. 2) DIY enthusiasts who show what they are doing with their tools, without focusing on these tools. =================== Excuse me, with $ 20,000, we buy wood. Unfortunately, DIY enthusiasts 1, make broom cupboards, garden tables, the dog kennel or the bedroom nightstand. That's kind of what I see with huge American kitchens, in home improvement TV shows ... making popcorn, grilled marshmallow, pancackes or burgers. The Western consumer (the same as Gucci clothes) is incorrigible. He has a buying fever. He is stronger than him, he needs to be reassured by spending. This Western consumer is hypersensitive to the flattery of salespeople who keep telling him that he is a PROFESSIONAL, that he is worth it, that he deserves it, that this machine is essential to him (until the next). The truth ? There are no bad tools, there are only bad workers. Herewith, some videos which force my admiration. I hope you like it. Cordially.
