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.
I'm no stranger to tools sitting idly on the shelf, but i've never had one provide a 10% to 12% annual return on my purchase price. Might have to trade my Crypto account for some green tools!!
