Biscuit jointers · where you stand decides
Which is cheaper where you are?
This comparison is unusual: the machines are close and the geography is not. The Makita costs €239 in Britain and €428 in Germany, on one reference and one barcode. The Triton costs within €9 of itself across four countries. Which is the better buy genuinely changes at the border.

A tick marks the better answer on that line only. Counting ticks does not decide the page — the two verdicts below do, because these machines answer different questions.
Buy the Makita in Britain, where it is €239 and comes with the better spares network. At the German price of €428 it is asked to beat a €300 machine on evidence it does not provide.
Buy the Triton anywhere on the continent. €300 to €309 across four countries, doing a job where the machines are close, is the straightforward answer.
Barely, and this is the most persistent myth in the category. A biscuit swells in the glue and holds two panels in plane while they are clamped — that is alignment, and it is genuinely valuable. For a joint that must resist racking, a loose tenon or a dowel does the work.
We do not know, and we are not going to invent a reason. It is measured, it is on one reference and one barcode, and it is why the button on this page checks your own market rather than assuming a European price.
