I have a cnc, but my use case if probably a little different than yours, but I chose the Lamello because of the following:

- I frequently assemble onsite, and need dust collection and versatility.
- Lamello can be used on cabinet assembly, drawer boxes and face frames.? Lock Dowel works for the cabinet box and drawers, but (as far as I know) not face frame assembly.
- Lamello can do both RTA (clamex) and glue/clamp(tenso) - this is especially helpful when assembling difficult to clamp shapes or large assemblies.
- Lock Dowels were a little fiddly on bigger wall and tall cabinets - difficult to line up the pieces.? They work great for smaller cabinets that are easier to reach.
-Lamello can do miters and hardwood assemblies

Andy,

I am not adverse to getting a Lamello but I already have the CNC. Would you please expand on why you prefer the Lamello?

I¡¯m hoping someone in the group has tried the product LockDowel or knows someone who has. () I am planning on building new kitchen cabinets and considering this product for assembly. My shop is absolutely jammed and I don¡¯t have room for assembled cabinets during the build and finishing stages. One big plus of this system is that I can spray and store everything flat and assemble just prior to installation.
Thanks,
