Hobby I deal regularly with Holzarbeiten.Viele dowel aids for round dowels, which are offered at the hardware store, I have (unfortunately!) Bought, tried and found to be unusable or unsatisfactory. Work results were often not perfect and frustration came numerous "anchor aids" in the trash. I have long wondered what Biscuit / biscuit jointer should I buy. If one uses the biscuit jointer only a hobby, you will always be inclined to save money and select a device in the lower price segment, "it might perhaps work quite well and be sufficient for my purposes." NO! We lie to us not keep telling yourself! It brings nothing but frustration and purchase again, so additional costs. In this regard, I say thank you to the reviewer who titled their honest opinion to cheap devices with "garbage" or "junk" and who supported my decision to buy the Makitagerät so. For device: -Comes in solid plastic case with a separate anchor compartment - 4m connection cable length (where there is the still?) (!) Strokes smoothly without play -Precise "straight motion" when dipping the cutter into the wood -scales, Important center markings in red very readable on attacks, also dusty legible -Einstellknopf U for depth adjustment F. Anchor size 20, 10, 0. Max. Depth by each rotational movement of about 30 ° (click) Stroke to the vote on workpiece thickness by rotation of a Rändelschraubenkopfes via rack very feinfüh lig and accurately reading on mm-scale (Ex .: planed slats 22x46 mm> Scale setting to 11mm thickness = half> where it is the center of the 4 mm cutter plunges into the wood u. The groove is then 9 to 13 mm in workpiece, so 1bis8 mm Wood> 9 to 13 mm groove, 14 to 22 mm = 22 mm wooden batten thickness -low volume of the machine -fräst as in butter without significant Abtouren the machine -wenig dirt, ie the dust bag works well. So a 1A-machine I in the price range around 320, - have bought. It's- also for Professional unnecessary even spend more money because better a machine can not fulfill its purpose. AND: there are for the handyman anything more beautiful than a satisfying professional, finished woodwork with exact Gehrungschnitten and glue joints to the one walking around at night with a bottle of beer, his day's work and considered again happiness, relaxation and satisfaction derives from it ?? Good wood is too expensive to get it to work with low-cost machines for firewood therefore => Buy recommendation for this device!
