Strength on a market level you mean? These tenons are thicker (6 or
8mm), which means you can use them in more projects (cookies ... uh,
biscuits can only be used length-wise).

The only time I like tenon joinery, is when I get to see the 'through'
tenons


Seems like this will be a possibility, no?

.... and if you're going to drop $ 700


As usual, you guys seem to be in the advantage again, they sell for 686
Euros here, but I'm sure that's without the value-added tax ... oops,
nope, 19% included. Still, about a 190€ difference if the 700 dollars
mentioned is tax-free.
See he http://www.baptist.nl/shop_prod.asp?...100&s=26&t=276
(Beats me why they will only sell in April on the other side of the pond).

..... take a deep breath
and go to Multi-Router.... I said a DEEP breath. Then again, if you're
going Multi-Router.. you're a quarter of the way to a 'Bot.... It is
such a ****er that so many cool tools have so much toy value.


From the video: "the bit is spinning and oscillating", and from the
article: "cutters are tipped with carbide to stand up to the slightly
odd cutting action".
The more it moves, the more it wears, but yes, we *are* talking Festool
here.
