As someone who only gets a few hours each week in the workshop, the Domino means I can do 3 or 4 times as many projects in a year as before.
Plus I have never been able to get clean shoulders on my tenons, and don't seem to have the skills to get consistent tight fitting M/T (I admit both with some shame)
Love the domino...

Me too handy tool. I have some Irwin chisels which I like. I think I need a few nice 'worker' butt chisels.

What is VAT worth? By my calculations that is a cheap domino if you know someone who is travelling to the UK and is willing to bring you back one or you know someone over there who would purchase and send to you? Originally Posted by mkb

VAT is 17.5% so using xe.com roughly translates 560.00 GBP = 1,187.38 AUD. Shipping from the UK is not cheap, under 2kgs is cheap over isn't (I spent 5 years there..) You can claim the VAT back 'somehow', I never worked out how Originally Posted by Burnsy

Ideal Tools have the domino for AUD $1,303.01 which in the scheme of things is probably cheaper

You go around a local dealer to get a machine that might be a few dollars cheaper from overseas, how motivated do you think they'll really be to get it serviced for you if something (G*d forbid) goes wrong with it?
It ain't a box of sandpaper, it's a Porsche that cuts fancy holes in wood.......
