Larry I would find out exactly which cutters come with the deal and what shape the are in. You want to make sure of what you are getting. The cutters do last a very long time. I use the standard 5mm bit the most and have cut in excess of 5,000 mortises with that bit alone. The unit has indexing built in however I use mine more like a plate joiner then any other way. I have all but quit using pocket hole construction given this superior method of putting together a joint. I would not thin twice about replacing it should that need come up. Looks like everything is there except the Festool dust extractor. :-). You will need some type of dust extraction to clear out the mortises that it cuts. |

Thinking about a retirement gift from me to me. Any feedback on this unit? If, as he says, that he used the machine for only one project (and is wasn't abused), then that's a good deal. Since I've gotten my Domino - I've rarely used anything but floating tenons. I'll swear by it .... Anything missing? I see he doesn't list the 6 mm cutter, and that's a part that I've found necessary. Also I've occasionally used 4 mm Dominoes. They will come in handy. |

Yes, that concerns me a bit and suggests that he's bought the bits and the Dominos separately from the kit. Or else, he's broken/lost/chipped those two missing bits. Also, I couldn't tell from the picture if it was the older pin model or the newer paddle model of Domino. Initially, it's cheaper in the beginning to buy the systainer set of Dominos which also includes a full bit set of Domino cutter sizes 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm. http://www.leevalley.com/en/Festool/...at=5,105,68330 |

I haven't seen this tool before, so I google'd it and it looks impressive. If I understand it correctly, its basically a high-end biscuit-type plug joiner. What I don't get is why is the dust extractor such an expensive option. Does it blow air into the mortise and then vacuums it out as well? |

Thinking about a retirement gift from me to me. Any feedback on this unit? http://www.ebay.com/itm/150984502400...WAX:IT&_trksid.... I see that the bidding is pretty active — and there's a bit less than 4 days left .... Let us know if you won the auction. Also, there's a lot of available on-line tutorials, videos, and other information on using the Domino to its full potential. |

If you're asking about the dust collector, it's as high end as the Domino tool itself. Much quieter that your regular screaming beast, very effective dust collection, tool activated power on function, very effective dust filtering. Naturally, there are others will forgo the cost for a $98 two hundred decibel animal. All I can suggest is to try on of the Festool dust collectors on their thirty day return guarantee program and then decide. Also, Festool offers a package reduction price if you buy the Domino and the dust collector at the same time. ONE OTHER THING ~ The Domino puts ANY biscuit joiner to shame and COMPLETELY replaces the need for a biscuit joiner. Some might disagree with that statement, but I'm not one of them. |

Multi-tool will do it but not as quickly and cleanly as the 557. There's something more important to consider when comparing any biscuit joiner to a Domino. The Domino is used primarily for joining *and* alignment fully in both those categories. The biscuit joiner is more geared to alignment IMO and not nearly as suited for joining strength. |

Was clipping a fingernail a little while back. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a piece of clipped fingernail hit my cat in the nose. She did a double reverse back flip and disappeared for the next ten minutes. I laughed so hard it hurt. |

Your few examples you listed are about are about all the plate joiner is decent for with one more exception, it makes a good slot for a lock lever to rotate into. With the Domino what you have listed above is only the beginning of what a Domino is good for. Thanks for the support. I'll get that $20 mailed to you right away. |

I could align the board as well by hand as with the biscuit. I was, in fact, using the proper biscuit and bit combination. I tried a different brand biscuit, but they were all the same. I called the company to ask some questions about this. The tech support guy said the biscuits were compressed and purposely undersized so they would swell when dampened by the glue and make a tight joint. However, this would never happen before the glue set and hand alignment was still necessary. So, to this day, I fail to see how biscuits help with alignment of edge joined boards, if I still have to "fine tune" the alignment by hand/clamp/cauls. I had the same problems, with a 556 PC and 557 PC plate joiner, using PC, Freud, and who know what brand biscuits. Often the biscuit would have to be hammered in if I were to use it and not toss it. Other times it and the trim it was aligning would fall out of the slot if turned upside down before clamping. Slightly better than finish nails providing you did not want to hide nail holes. |

NOT do all your work for you. Also much much faster to get the clamps on a 45 degree joinery frame glue-up with biscuits, than without. If you want accuracy, or strength and accuracy, use a Domino ... if you're pushed for time on a glue-up, biscuits can save your bacon without a lot of slipping around and futzing with basic juxtaposition, AND give you some degree of strength.

From the OP: I got a lot out of this thread, friends, and am getting a major itch for a Domino in my shop. The eBay unit that sparked my current interest is now up to $710 with two days to go. By the time this closes, I expect the price to be within a hair of retail for a new unit. I'm willing to invest $600 or so ... but will have to figure out a project for which a Domino will be "indispensible" in order to justify $900 plus. Larry |

I remember years ago, for a number of years where almost all new tools were bought by clients. I had a line that went something like this. "Well, I would love to make that for you. I would charge this much for labor plus cost of materials. And I need a special tool to complete this particular project." It worked most of the time. |

Final report: This unit sold for $926. That's more than retail, although this one included some extra cutters and dominos. Wow.

For about 20% more you get an assortment of five different sized tenons, more than 1,000, 5 extra cutters, a systainer for the tenons, a new Domino and a 3 year warranty. |
