I've decided to try it and for less than $100 ($69 for the unit

the Domino.


Why buy the tenons? If you have a thickness planer and a table-mounted router with a
roundover bit, it's dirt-simple to make your own loose tenons from scrap wood.


You bet.

For all the tenons I use with my Multi-Router, I cut both thickness and
width on the table saw, and length using a sled, or miter saw if they
need to be mitered; then a roundover bit on the router table.

Cut'em just a RCH thicker than the mortise, then a quick touch on the
Delta drum and belt sander for a precise fit.
