"Bow Tie" Joiner

surf6524

A few years ago, I came across a tool that joins wood by cutting a "bow tie" shaped mortise on both sections, then a small plastic "bow tie" was inserted into the mortise for a positive, non-movable joint. I did not recall the name of the tool, or the manufacturer. Anybody with any info please let me know. Thanks

I think you're looking for the machine made by Hoffman, its expensive and for doing a lot (a real lot) of joints, although I see they have cheaper benchtop models now. I'm not sure what you need it for but there is some other hardware for doing similar that doesn't requir a special machine, one is quite similar and looks like a figure 8 and only requires forstner bit.
