I've decided to try it and for less than $100 ($69 for the unit
and $10 for 50 tenons) it either is or isn't going to meet my
needs. I kinda look at this as an expensive first step toward
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.

I think you guys may have too much time on your hands... ;~)

That said, I do things like that sometimes but most of the time I don't have
the time... if I spent time on that I'd never get the real project done!
