    Fast Joint Joinery System (5/5), Oct 1, 2009

    By Gareth Roberts (Amlwch An UK)

    I did not expect success with the first joint I made, but I did. A perfect joint.

    Excellent system, with a clear and concise manual


    " Fast Joint" Precision Joinery System (5/5), Oct 1, 2009

    By Roy Dick (Dallas TX US)

    The shipment arrived in short order and in great condition.
    The instructions and assembly were very easy to do, I being more of a woodturner, even found this to be easy.
    I did have to call and ask a few questions though. As with any new product there is a learning curve, as minor as this was. And with the help of Mike and Joe, (tech support), were very helpful.
    I even called and spoke to Mitch, by the way is very cordial and took the time to go into detail to help me out of a jam.
    With the great customer service, I am on the way to making some nice keepsake, jewelry boxes and humidors for some Christmas presents.
    The only template I have used at this point is the heart shaped, but look forward to using the others as well.
    More orders will follow to MLCS without hesitation.
    Thanks MLCS for a great "SYSTEM" that does what is advertised.

    I ordered and received it within 4 days. The set up was easy as was the instructions. I was impressed with the quality of the cuts the first time. I would high recommend to anyone.

    Fast Joint Precision Joinery System (3/5), Apr 3, 2010

    By Paul Gallian (Crane MO US)

    The setup was a long process. But I understand the need for assembly when it comes in a very small box. After completion of the setup and with sized and good wood the first cut was made and I completely destroyed a template somehow, the guide did not ride against the pattern and ate into the white pattern. I do not know if a person can purchase just one pattern? better yet one half of a pattern.

    I accept fault responsibility but still can not see how the guide faulted.


    Fast Joint System (3/5), Nov 27, 2010

    By Howard Winkler (Summerfield Fl US)

    I've only used the heart template so far. The joints are just too tight to go together even though I've cleaned out the templates as instructed.
    It looks like the bit is not centered PRECISELY (I would have written PRECISELY in much larger font if I could). Very very close is NOT good enough. I am unable to adjust my router so I wound up making the final passes from different orientations to the bit and this seems to have worked. The joints went together but there are very tiny space - if you look closely at the joint. I cannot stress enough - the bit must be dead-on center for this system to work correctly.


    Fast Joint system (2/5), Aug 3, 2010

    By Arthur Goolkasian (Sacramento CA US)

    I have used the Fast Joint System for several small projects, using the decorative temeplates. I am still trying to get it dialed in. My joints, in most cases seem to be to tight. What has been most troubling so far is that I have broken 3 of the 3/16" up-cut bits. In each instance I did not feel that I was forcing the bit or cutting too much stock. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate receiving them.
