Ken,
Thanks for the tip, Ken, I registered. But I will not likely be patent enough to get the Domino XL I want that way. But who knows, I might. I am resigned to paying the full price once I get to a project where I can convince myself I "need" it. A crib for my latest grandchild is coming up and my provide my "justification".
I haven't done it yet but I've seen multiple postings on other websites about getting the expendibles, the loose tenons, from Europe where Festool cannot control the prices the way they do here. Shipping is more and he wait is longer but you can save money on them even with the shipping. I will start out just making my own loose tenons and buying CMT cutters.
