Hey Charlieb.
Now that you have had your Domino for a few weeks, what do you think? I am in the middle of a project for a customer and was using my PC plate joiner to attach 2.5" wide edging to plywood panels and was thinking the Domino would be better for this task. Additionally, Swingman keeps mentioning the Domino to me. Additionally, Swingman keeps doing projects with his MR. Additionally, the $40 off on the Domino is coming to an end at the end of this month.
So, I have a few questions.
- Have you built any projects with your Domino yet?
- Is there any aspect that you are less than impressed with?
- What are you using for a vacuum? My local dealer has indicated that a shop vac would be needed over a dust collector. I am not too sure that I buy that yet. I attached a 2.5" x 7" hose to my dust collector and it had enough suction to stick and hold on to a flat surface. I wonder if the air flow has to be significant for the chips to be properly carried away. With that in mind, the Festool vacuum would be a nice option. The combination of the Domino and the largest Festool vacuum cleaner bought at the same time would yield a 0 discount but does add 0 to the price. I an finished with loud vacuums and while the much cheaper new models are considerably quieter they are still loud when compared to the Festool. Additionally I hate those stiff flexible hoses that come with most of the cheaper vacuums.
- Did you also get the Domino tennon assortment, Systainer, and extra cutters?
- Do you see any use for a Plate Joiner when you have a Domino in your shop?
Thanks for any input and all previous reviews on the subject.
