FESTOOL DOMINO Experience - by those who have used one.
Quite a few people have had demonstrations of Festool's new DOMINO jointing system. But few people who own one or have put one to practical use have commented.
So I have set up this thread to encourage anyone who has used or is using the Festool DOMINO to tell us all of their experiences with this new machine/system.
Evil Conspiracy by Festool
Now fellas, what's really happened is that everyone has watched the demo's with great interest, handled the tool and thought, "Ooooohh yeah, I'll have me one of these babies!" or similar. Mentally pegged the price at say double a Makita biscuit jointer, mebbe $5-600.
When told "$1200+domino's+bits+outrageous sums for replacement gear" they think, "FFS, I can buy 12 GMc/holiday in NZ/10 old planes/table saw/scms with bells on", and walk away. Well, I did anyway.
Now the marketers at Festool, with 11,500 of these jiggers to sell (note, that's nealry $14m) sitting on the shelf, have told the dealers "let everyone know that theyve sold out", so that us dumb punters think 'The Jones' have one, so I need one too."
Well, it won't work.:p
