    Congrats on the purchase! I'll be picking mine up as well right after work... Although I'll have to wait until after class tomorrow (yeah, on saturday for 4 hours) to "Dominate" anything
    We'd better begin an official Domino owners thread, or I fear the board may be overrun with threads such as this by midnight

    I'm surprised by the lack of Domino talk both here and on FOG. Anyhow, I pre-ordered my Domino from my local Woodcraft, I called them up this morning to see if they were in, he said no. But he said that he just got off the phone with the distributor and that they would be in today, he'd call as soon as the UPS man brings them in. Well, D-Day has come and I can tell you where my Domino isn't: in my hands! Has anyone else gotten their Domino from a local Woodcraft?

    I might be because I'm using my Domino on it's first project which was on hold waiting for it. I know, no pictures but I'll post some.

    This machine is everything it was said to be, it's incredible no buyers remorse at all.

    I'll post pictures of the first project this weekend.

    Steve,

    I would hope not; you only paid $660 for your machine, apart from the extras, whereas we in Australia paid the equivalent of $1074, and yet none of the Australian Domino owners that I know of have felt buyer's remorse. We are just jealous that you are getting it so (relatively) cheaply.

    David, In the US did we pay about 15-20% less on the average for most of the Festool products than what you paid down under?

    TS75 here was $550.00 and the TS55 was $430.00 before 4-1-07. Were you guys close to those prices in your area?...

    Ted,

    No; We pay almost 40% more for those saws than you do. The current prices here for the TS55 and TS75 are the equivalent of US$660 and $875, including 10% GST. For this reason, all but the most affluent hobbyists here stay away from Festool for the most part, when they can buy good quality competitive products for half the price. But the Domino is unique, and its benefits are so obvious, that a number of hobbyists, including myself, have been willing to pay the price for it.

    David
