Imagine cutting 200 "clean precision sized" mortises. Now imagine doing

Yes, I'd use my horizontal morticer, or benchtop morticer or if I had one,
a chain morticer. None of which cost as much as the Domino (well the chain
morticer would have to have been a used model, of course).


Imagine sanding with a belt sander.

Don't have one, never needed one. Now a wide-belt sander or good drum
sander on the other hand ...

Now imagine sanding with a finish
sander that will sand as fast as a belt sander with no dust and little
noise by comparison.

How about a card scraper, #80, #81 or #112? Or a PC 7336 6" right-angle ROS
with dust collection kit if you must use power?


Imagine building fine furniture and making your cuts with a circular
saw.

These two thoughts don't go together.

Now imagine a circular saw the cuts as good as a cabinet table
saw, makes plunge cuts, puts a fine straight edge on a board faster than
a jointer, and contains 95% of the saw dust.

But if I already have a jointer, cabinet saw, and a dust collector, why do I need this?



Imagine a cordless drill. Now imagine one that does not rattle and
clatter when you have reached the desired torque setting but simply

Sure as hell aint worth the extra USD700 over a Dewalt 18V.


I witness this every time I use these tools.

That's nice, but still you've given me no reason to purchase the festool
stuff. I haven't seen it in the pro cabinet shops that I frequent,
either.
