Wow, missed a lot of info here. Sorry I have been absent so much lately and check in every once in awhile. Been feeling poorly but nothing compared to what some have experienced here so I will shut up.

Steve, the Domino is a wonderful tool and I have no doubt that those joints will be very long lasting. I just think it's over priced as are most festool products in my opinion. It's easy and not a lot of set up.

"why don't I take pics during the process a la Harry?"

I'll say Amen to that Ed.

The Festool Domino is about 750.00 I think. The Pro Beadlock is about 120.00.

I wonder if the Domino joints are really that strong? Anyone heard?

Just a Update and a review on the Router Lathe..

I got the Pioneer Universal Router Lathe
From Canada , that's the last time I get something from Canada.

Anyway it's a great router Lathe, it's 95% Steel...with 3/4" steel rods for support and guides,,
It works about the same as the Craftsman with some extra items...It has a base plate that can be adjusted up or down for bigger stock and to keep the router running true...and flat all the way down the stock.

Many other things that are neat about this one..
see snapshots below..

By the way you will see Router Dust all over the place that's for Harry and Glenmore, they like to see router dust in the shop LOL LOL ..
It gives them something to talk about on the net..

=========

All in All I would give this router setup 4 stars out of 5 stars..

=========
Now it's dry out time so I can sand it down, and now I'm looking for a small sewing machine motor and round belt and pulleys so I can spin the lathe to sand them down and put on the fine finish...

A first class photo-shoot Bj. don't you agree that the sawdust adds realism? I am a little surprised that you did the turning on the router lathe rather than the more conventional method of turning close to size on the standard lathe then taking the final cut on the router lathe prior to routing the spirals. Now that there is sawdust in your shop, how about a tapered spiral.
What went wrong in buying from Canada?

Hi BJ,

Pretty skookum looking machine. Nice job and nice chips....good to see...also good photo shoot, just needs numbers on them for proper order and it would be perfect.

I'm also curious about what happened buying from Canada. I know when I buy from the US that the cross border stuff sometimes gets rediculous both cost wise and shipping wise. Other than that I've had no problems.

Ed......:-)

Hi Ed., there has been something wrong with the forums programme for ever, photos. can be downloaded in the correct order and appear in any order at all. The secret when viewing is to place the cursor on each shot in turn and it's number shows.
