Ooohhh....shiny. Is the Festool Domino right for me?

Absolutely. Fortunately for the Domino that useful trick is very useful in that it enables one to quickly and easily use the type joint that he should be using in the first place rather than a joint reinforced by a biscuit or pocket hole screw. That said, biscuits and pocket holes do have their place, but they are also probably too convenient and are often used where a M&T should be used.

Can't answer this one, I don't own a Domino. Given the price, I probably won't own one for a long time.

Not likely. Given the price of the Domino, I could buy a new drill press, biscuit joiner and hollow chisel mortising machine and still not come close to spending what it would take to buy a Domino. I don't currently own a biscuit joiner, but have been contemplating getting one. When I need to do glue ups that benefit from having something to align the pieces, I use dowels. A doweling jig is relatively inexpensive as are the dowels.

It's your money and if you've got enough of it--go for it. :)

The only person "showing his ass" round here is you, but thanks for confirming your intelligence level for all and sundry.

LOL! Further confirming what we knew all along ... the most correct "analogy" as being my ass, and _your_ "intelligence level".

assume you meant " strict pricing policy"

The Domino is around the equivalent of USD 1050 in the UK, a quick google shows those lucky, lucky bastards in the US are paying around USD 700.

So it's not that strict a pricing policy :)

Festool dealers offer next to bugger all discount on list price in the UK, about the equivalent of USD 60.

And once again, ladies and gentlemen, "Swingman" shows us all the meaning of pure class.

Bleccchhhh.

LOL ... STILL speaking with that public tit in your mouth, eh Andrew? Shame on you for wasting the tax payer's money on such drivel.

Enough already. Plonk.

Bill, you might want to unplonk. Sometimes we get caught up in a pissing contest, even the best of us.

Ok, Kids... Go to your rooms for a time out... *eg*

Problem is, Karl is pretty incontinent, and seems to get a juvenile pleasure out of it.
