Leon, your festool is cheap compared to the new kid on the block.

Mafelle, check out Timberwolf USA's duo driller. Neat little tool, well designed, but the Domino might be a better choice still.

Dunno, maybe he's talking about this. If so, doesn't seem so expensive to me.

It is a Mafell duo dowel system.

One Mafell tool that really peaks my interests is their self propelled track saw. It's been talked about here before, but I think it deserves repeated mention. At $2500 it's not cheap, but there you go.

And it only weighs 17 kg.

Yeah, but that's with the guides which need some weight to hold the pin points in place. ~ Anyway, much lighter than hauling your contractor's saw out to a job site.

Considering my circumstances, it would be something I'd seriously consider under the proper conditions. Have to see if I can find some real user opinions on the thing.

[Leon]

There is a much less expensive Euro alternative.

I'll stick with the Domino, even if it wears out. ;~)

Certainly not as good if you watch this:

This has a much better alignment design.

I would agree. But thought you might like to see this in action.
