It's a fine biscuit cutter. The PC is good too. Can't go wrong with either one.

Yeah, I love how some of those ebay sellers rake you over the coals for shipping and .. uh .. handling. Yep. Handling my a**.
I always check the S&H and "almost always" that's prevents me from buying from them. But some sellers do in fact give pretty damn good deals, even with a high S&H.
But $83 to ship a joiner? DUH

Yup. I didn't quite lift my foot up high enough and snagged the cord. Pulled the router off the bench. old style 4.2" router base... bent. Stoopid money to replace. Shit happens.
I chose the PC because it included the small blade for face frame work and a box of biscuits. I have owned the Dewalt and was very happy with it but thought I would get the one that did more just in case. max
It's a solid, dependable tool that I'd buy again.
Is it a Lamello? No!
The PC can do FF biscuits, but I haven't missed not having that capability. If you want to use FF's, buy the PC.
If someone reviewed the DeWalt as awful, they don't know how to use a plate joiner. There are thousands of these in pro finish carpenters trucks and woodshops around the world. It's a perfectly serviceable tool, minus the artful precision of a Lamello, or the2nd, small blade of the PC.
I had settled on either the DeWalt or the Makita 3901. At the Big E WW show, the Makita was about $5 cheaper (around $120, IIRC) so I bought it. I am very happy with it, and have since used a friend's DeWalt. There's very little difference, and I'm sure you would be pleased with either.
