You're right ... but strange things happen, and it would likely be someone
who used the M-R strictly for mortising. Even then I think it would be
hard
to give up the variable/increased mortise depth and size.

I'm a BIG fan of the Domino, but, like it's first cousin the biscuit
jointer, it's plainly a one-trick-pony ... although one hell of a useful
trick.

Absolutely. Fortunately for the Domino that useful trick is very useful in
that it enables one to quickly and easily use the type joint that he should
be using in the first place rather than a joint reinforced by a biscuit or
pocket hole screw. That said, biscuits and pocket holes do have their
place, but they are also probably too convenient and are often used where a
M&T should be used.

Can't answer this one, I don't own a Domino. Given the price, I
probably won't own one for a long time.

(3) Non-domino owners: If your biscuit joiner and mortising tools (MR,
drill press etc.) broke tomorrow, would you be more inclined to get a
Domino instead?

Not likely. Given the price of the Domino, I could buy a new drill
press, biscuit joiner and hollow chisel mortising machine and still
not come close to spending what it would take to buy a Domino. I
don't currently own a biscuit joiner, but have been contemplating
getting one. When I need to do glue ups that benefit from having
something to align the pieces, I use dowels. A doweling jig is
relatively inexpensive as are the dowels.

But I _want_ the Domino, I just need some people to tell me it's the
right thing to do.

It's your money and if you've got enough of it--go for it.

The original poster was talking about the price of the TOOL dropping in
price, not the price of the products made with the tool. I only brought
that
part up to illustrate my accurate analogy. Sorry you missed the point.

And for good reason ... your diatribe was "pointless" and uninformative,
except that it showed your ass.

LOL! Further confirming what we knew all along ... the most correct

Well, probably not. I strongly suspect that there is a pantent on the
Domino. The Fein Multimaster has not had any real competition until
relatively reccently when their patent expired. I have never seen any
Festool prices drop and because they have a strict priving policy you
probably will not see a drop in price. And like the Lamelllo plate joiner
the Domino will probably remain at higher prices even after the patent runs
out, if there is one.

assume you meant " strict pricing policy"

The Domino is around the equivalent of USD 1050 in the UK, a quick
google shows those lucky, lucky *******s in the US are paying around
USD 700.

So it's not that strict a pricing policy

Festool dealers offer next to bugger all discount on list price in
the UK, about the equivalent of USD 60.

Problem is, Karl is pretty incontinent, and seems to get a juvenile
