Cutting in seconds

Lamello has equipped the Zeta P2 with a battery system. This makes groove cutting even more independent for the P-System. Can the machine impress in the workshop?
With the P-System, Lamello connectors are available for practically every application in carcass manufacturing. In order to produce the groove for form-locking connections precisely, tradespeople can rely on CNC technology or work by hand with a biscuit joiner from the manufacturer. For manual operation with cordless freedom, the Swiss company has developed the Zeta P2 cordless and launched it on the market in 2022. It is suitable, for example, for furniture construction or for installing fitted panels, for machining roof window casings or for outdoor use, including on terrace floors.

Kolbe Tischlerei from Hanover tested the machine for a few weeks. The cabinet making company was already familiar with the connectors from Lamello. "We use the detachable Clamex P10/P14 connector a lot," says Benjamin Kolbe. This connector is basically used for every built-in cabinet in the company. The connector is the ideal choice if something that is pre-assembled does not fit in the car or needs to be dismantled into smaller components for carrying up. "Clamex is the standard for us - and probably the best thing there is in this area," says Kolbe.

The cabinet makers have not yet had experience with Lamello's biscuit joiner. What was the initial impression? "That it is really a high-grade, strong machine," says Benjamin Kolbe, "and that's also the second, third and final impression." The additional flexibility provided by the battery-powered drive also appeals to the wood technician, as does the precise interaction of all machine components. "I can't think of any other machine that can be used to make cleanly detachable connections so quickly."

The Zeta P2 cordless is basically - but not exclusively - suitable for all P-System connectors: Clamex for making detachable connections, Tenso for permanent glued connections and Divario for sliding connections, with which, for example, a partition can subsequently be inserted firmly into a carcass. Bisco P is an aligning element in the range that fits into the same groove so that the cutter does not have to be changed in between when using Clamex and Tenso. According to the manufacturer, the Zeta P2 cordless is also suitable as a standard biscuit joiner.

Clamex is the standard for us!
