a tenoner. dialing in copes with a micrometer then having to change it all again for the stick profile gets old. it'd be nice to have a dedicated tenoner to eliminate that for doors and windows.

I am very happy with my shop, but... I would like to replace the only Craftsman tool I have, a 16" scroll saw, although its done a fine job for me. I keep looking at that Dewalt DW788 and Van has hit it right on the head for me, I look at CL, Ebay, and Amazon daily watching and hoping for a deal on this tool, and I dont even need it. But... I want it.

has to be the domino mean if by that then have to get the vacume wiht it.
I have two. A dovetail machine (not just a dovetail jig) and a CNC router table. I also dont have the room for the size router table I want
I went with a friend to one of his subs cabnet shop and he had a Laguna DT machine running, very cool. We were there about an hour and the guy running it did over 30 drawers! For me it would be a very cool machine but hard to justify doing 30 drawers a YEAR vs an hour. Maybe I could rent time on it...
CNC router!
Ok even better would be a tig welder, the money, and the time to build one.
The Plane Anarchist
I can't think of to many things with the way the question is formed. If I had the space, not to many tools would not be justified. If I had the money, the tool would not be justified.
Now if we are talking because I don't have enough room... or my wife would kill me because I bought the tool. That would be another question.
And the answer for me would be a Laser. Man... I would love one of those! But I probably wouldn't do anything with it to make money. I'd just use it on my own work. Mostly my turnings.
Have a Nice Day!
I would want one that does through dovetails. I have looked at the Omec's and the Dodd's. I would also like to have a large bed plotter with a knife blade instead of a pen so I can make patterns more easily than I do now. I have seen one of these before, although they are not commonplace
The only "highend" dovetailer I have seen was a Northtec I think, it was at IWF and I normally don't look at production machines but this thing looked like some kinda crazy computer operated punch card machine so I just had to stop and investigate.
I must say this has been an fun thread for me, some people "dream" of the mundane like me and some people have really cool dreams!
