That’s a heck of a piece of equipment ! Beats the hell out of a Shopsmith! lol

Thanks for watching. Yes its a fantastic machine. A bit like a shopsmith in it's concept of being able to do more than just one thing. Amazing for the small space i have.

For me it’s the dust free aspect of the Festool sanders. Coupled with the Clean Tech extractor, sanding is almost pleasant. Great video, I’ve made dozens of doors using almost all of the same methods.

Great point. I have a Bosch sander that is like the Rotex. While i haven't used the Festool one, i can say the Bosch is a fantastic sander with good dust collection. At least it is when i use a mesh abrasive. :) I also don't have a Festool extractor, but a cheap shopvac, it does however seem to work well with both the Bosch and the Festool. My other random orbitals aren't as good as in that regard as either the Bosch or the Festool. Apart from my 5" Makita sander, most others have all had reliability issues, and that's probably the main reason for going the Festool route. Oh, and it's also much nicer ergonomically! Thank you for watching!

I used to love my Rotex until the dowel pin in the brushes shut down an entire project for several days. Make sure you have a spare set or backup sander.

@@zeff1015 Thanks for the heads up. I have several sanders, so not normally in issue. I am hopeful that the Festool sander will be more reliable than some of the other sanders i've had in the past.

nice saw. I have a great shop, (large sliding table saw too) but not a European saw like that. the ability to basically do that "straight line rip" is nice. But, I get by. If I did it for a living I think I'd go for about what you have there. Yes on the domino. I have a chain mortiser which I do like for some things, (when real strength of joint is so important) but Dominos are so easy I use them too most of the time.

Thanks for watching Paul, yeah the sliding table saw is a game changer if you do a lot of stuff with sheetgoods or straight line ripping. A chain mortiser would be very nice, or even a hollow chisel mortiser, but to be honest, with the testing I've done, I have complete confidence in the loose tenon joinery with the Domino. The only reason I would invest in a chain or hollow chisel mortiser would be to replicate historical joinery.

@@brycecomerwoodworks Good clear video.! What are your thoughts on using the domino for exterior facing doors (front/back doors..) ?

@@wawmsey1 I've used domino's on plenty of exterior doors. I use 14mm dominos and would have to check, buy i think they're 140mm long. The bigger and heavier the door, the more i tend to put in, but typically i use two rows stacked, so for example, on a joint between a 140mm wide mid rail and the stile, i would have 4 dominos. For a bottom rail, it's typically 8. I'm also often using a cope and stick on those same pieces, so it ends up having quite a big glue surface area. In my opinion, this type of joinery is on par with hand cut mortise and tenon joinery, & not far behind wedged through tenons. Thanks for watching.
