   Darrell,
   I know the attachment you are referring to. It was made by Porter Cable as an optional accessory to its laminate trimmer. I recently tried to find one to purchase but was told (by Porte Cable customer service) it was discontinued due to lack of interest/sales about 4-5 yrs ago. I tried a couple places locally (Mich.) they suggested but nobody has them in stock. If yoy can find any let me know.
   Try this tool
   (http://www.tapeease.com/LamTls.htm)
   it is all I can find-- outside of a very expensive commercial laminate strip cutter.
   Good Luck,
   Rick

   *Try contacting Marc Adams. He has a web site for his school and you could probably email him there.At one of his seminars a couple of years ago he mentioned a some company that makes all kinds of very unusal and specialed bases for laminate trimers.

   *Virutex makes a laminate slitter that will cut to 4.3". It also doesn't generate any laminate shavings. I've been using one for 15 years. They work great. Doug

   *Darrell,Mike doesn't owe me anything at all. (Truth be known, I owe him a debt of gratitude.)And that should give you an idea of the tongue in cheekiness of everything else I've written in this discussion.b : )BTW : say hello to your brother Darrel for me. Oh, and ask him when's he going to pay me that 3 grand he owes me...b : )

    *Mike, Great!! Let me know when it arrives so I can "borrow it". I'm about to finish up a laundry room remodel with a countertop over the front loading washer & dryer. Hope it works well for you.

    *Mike,Did you get that bench clamp with it? Looks interesting, but I would like to know if anyone has used one before I order one.

    Mike_Smith | Jan 27, 2002 11:42pm | #16

    *no.. i'd rather move the trimmer than the clamp.. maybe for short pieces.. but most of our slits are long edging

    *I got the new one with the micro adjust a couple of months ago, 100 bucks including shipping, and it is working well. It doesnt quite make it to 4.5 inches but it is close if you adjust it all the way out.
