I'm guessing $300. Looks nice, accurate.

$330 retail list; who knows what'll it'll eventually be discounted for.

Enough of a time save as compared to what?

Definitely cool. Seems like more and more tools like this are showing
up. But for a festool guy like yourself, certainly it would not pay.
Your tool is much more portable.

A standard tenon jig.

I think it would be a good alternative to the standard tenon jig, maybe
if you need to cut a lot of tenons on different thickness material and
different thickness tenons. And with a Domino this might not see much
action from me.
I can't remember the last time I used my home built tenon jig, which
worked very well, or my bench top mortiser.

I have this one. I think I got it on sale for 80 bucks or somewhere in there. It makes great cuts but of course Powermatic always makes the best stuff.

Guess it would still depend on how much is enough but I don't see it as
that much time difference; perhaps a little more accurate than the
current generation that are too light.

I've one of the old heavy Delta and don't believe I'd trade it for
this...unfortunately, they're no longer in production and are pretty
hard to come by last time I looked for an acquaintance/neighbor just
getting started and having difficulty with the presently available crop.
Compared to them, if were still doing that much work I'd likely give
it a shot...

I agree, you would almost have to use it daily and or all the time for
the accuracy to save time over making a test cut on a scrap.

Yeah, if you don't have a tenon jig to start with maybe the Powermatic
would be a consideration. I built mine and it worked fine until I
bought my Domino.. ;~)
