There's also a bundle that will ship out around Sept 12 that includes the cutters, trim stop and fence, and a box of dominos for 1299.

Buying this discounted domino plus all the options totals to 1519

Great deal! Especially for how much their refurb tools go for.
Like many other tools, there is more than one way to do it. Ease of measuring and aligning pieces I've never seen a dowel jig do a good butt joint for casework. almost 0 dust.

festool is a luxury, not a necessity

Couldn't help myself even though I have no real need for it. YouTube wood working has made me buy so many tools that I promise myself I'll grow into.

Thanks for posting. These never go on sale and I've been on and off the fence for a while about getting one. I just pulled the trigger.

that looks like a great deal, too! but if you want to keep your investment as low as possible, you could stick with your DF500 at 5mm cutter setting forever and buy tenons from amazon. 300 pack is only 31 dollars.

Yeah or alternatively there's some router bits available to cut your own tenon stock with scraps you probably have in your shop already

These are flat out awesome! I have the 500 and the 700 - and I highly recommend either.

Thank you. I jumped on the domino sale and didn't see this. Cancelled that order and did this instead.

Honestly, this doesn't do much more than you can do with a doweling tool and a drill.

Can someone who knows about this tool tell me what else it does?
Like many other tools, there is more than one way to do it. Ease of measuring and aligning pieces I've never seen a dowel jig do a good butt joint for casework. almost 0 dust.

If you've never seen a dowel jig do good butt joints for case work, look into jessem dowel jig, or dowel Max jig. Both are incredible jigs that rival the domino at a better price point. All 3 systems have their strengths and weaknesses
