I recently bought a used MiniMax FS-41 Elite jointer/planer. Along with the purchase, MiniMax agreed to send new plastic covers that had been shattered while it was being used and shipped as a demo. Because of some extraordinarily long delays getting these parts, MiniMax recently offered me a significant discount on a brand new mortiser attachment (i.e., I would save about $500 on the purchase). This seems like a valuable offer considering the rarity of a sale on MiniMax accessories.
The problem is, I have a Festool Domino and a floor-standing dedicated mortiser already, so I don't know if I will ever need this device. As I write this, I feel like I'm answering my own question, but the offered discount seems too good to pass up.
So, does anyone think this mortiser is a must-have, even with the other mortising options already available? If so, why? What capabilities will I gain by adding this piece of equipment to the quiver?
