Default Cutting mortises

Anyone have a suggestion on how I can cut 170 mortises in an hour? I
was considering a Domino, but it falls far short at only 168. There
has to be a more efficient tool.

I suggest you hire 2 Leon's and have them do it.
That will get you there in under an hour and probably for a lot less
than the price of a Domino... BTW Festool is going up in price... at
least that was what the Woddcraft email said. Better hire Leon.

Let's see a Multi-Router, about 2 minutes per, so six Multi-routers
could do it in an hour. Only run you about $16,200 and some change, plus
labor.

I can arrange it cheaper than that. I'll send Leon over with his
Domino and I'll give you my Domino. You two can handle the job. We'll
split it three ways at $5,000 each. He can save $1200.00

I am sure you could get up to 171 / hour after several months of
practice.

That's too fast. He wants 170 mortices/hour.

Maybe the bigger one will work faster.

So he can take a break every hour after reaching 170. Let's see, 3600
sec/hour divided by 170 mortices gives a 21 second break.

Is that enough time for a pee? I guess not, unless there's a bucket
somewhere in the corner of the shop. Or maybe it will take more
practice to get the rate up even higher.
