I figured if there was ONE Festool I would buy, it would be a Domino.  But its actually turned out to be a sander.

I think it all depends on what you're using it for.  For me, the Domino turned out to be an alignment tool, not a mortiser, depending on the size of the mortise of course.  If I had a production shop and needed an actual mortiser, I would get an XL.

So in my work, it really ended up being a glorified biscuit joiner.  I had constant problems with inaccurate alignment, tried every which way to hold the thing.

Bottom line - it was most certainly NOT the game changer I thought it would be.  Maybe I wasn't using it to its full potential.

I put it on Ebay and sold it for $1100 in one day.  I paid $850 for it and had it a couple years.  I just couldn't justify that much money sitting on a shelf 95% of its life.
