Agreed

Thanks for the video. A simple fix for the side to side adjustment, is a gauge block for the 6, 8 and 10. Put the gauge block on one side and adjust it, then move it to the other side and adjust. Go to table saw and cut your gauge block, 3D print.

[@Gravattack]

I don't think anyone at Festool are losing any sleep over this one, but it's always good to see companies innovate. We win in the end

[@JeffRL1956]

People who can afford Festool will still buy a domino. People who were never going to buy Festool are the potential customers for Kreg's MortiseMate. Therefore, it's not really a "Domino killer", just a more affordable option for people who weren't going to have a Domino at all.

[@DaveEtchells]

Good home-gamer option

[@johnyeung6329]

I bought a Domino and have only used it on a few project. Can honestly say NEVER regretted buying it. It's not just the function it provides of joining wood together but as with all festool tols I've used, it's the absolute joy of a tool which functions flawlessly.

[@lad60606]

I broke down and bought a Domino about 2.5 years ago to build my first high grade (QS White Oak) bedroom furniture. It hurt. I admit it. But the pain is gone now, and I can’t honestly say I’m glad to have the ease and versatility of the Domino after watching this.

[@bjoernwuest7483]

Cool thing. Just checked prices over here in Germany. €400 - on Black Friday Sale!!! I think if I really need such tool, I will go with the real Domino :)

[@TomRubicon5949]

I was wondering a similar thing. I think it's quite overpriced for what it is. A dowelmax may be a bit more cumbersome, but seems equally valid

[@brookslyle402]

$1200 for the domino 😅

[@meperson]

I said this before, best alternative to dominos are dowels. Same strength, just different look. Get Dowelmax and you will get speed, accuracy and ease of use including 45 miters. There is no need to mimic domino and get a clumsy solution.

[@ST-0311]

Agreed.

[@ronhau1542]

[@ronhau1542]

Hands down. In fact I’ve watched a strength comparison (we all know how those go who knows how accurate they are) but the dowel was strongest joint.

[@duncanjames914]

100% agree. In fact, I think they are better because the dowels are spread over a wider area.

[@tj5109]

I use the updated jessem dowel jig and think it’s great for the money. For hobbyists the $1,100 difference between dowel jigs and domino is better spent on other tools.

[@garywilliams7233]

Having had a Domino for years this looks like it will be a lot slower creating the mortise. This will probably be a good solution for a weekend woodworker.

[@pete_lind]

I wait for Makita Domino, Festools Domino patents expire 2024 , so competitors should be on market with own models 2025. Lemello biscuit jointer was only copied by Makita , Bosch and DeWalt from big brand names

[@emielbeckers8793]

Not even I think. It's easier and cheaper to just make a router jig. I'm convinced 731 woodworks stopped woodworking a long time ago and just craps out 3 videos a week with products he hasn't really used.

[@nofunkwithoutjimmy]

Agree , this looks like a massive pain in the arse compared to festool

[@snoopy6867]

As a weekend warrior, i saved up for a domino. This is nice, but i agree, nice product but time consuming. I do like that it doesn’t require power.

[@Jayhadd21]

Weekend woodworker here…I’d rather have a Domino, saving up for one now.

[@darlasowders5723]

I got mine a couple days ago, and yours is the first video I've seen where someone took the time to show assembly and dialing it in. Thanks!

[@731Woodworks]

Glad to be of help!

[@vittic5439]

Let’s call this a 1st prototype. Hopefully Kreg listens to customer feedback and gives us a few updated versions down the road. This has potential with a few minor upgrades. Similar to what they did with their pocket-hole jigs. Awesome product review as always! 😎❤️

[@trmpetl]

I'm a roofer by trade, but do a lot of DIY carpentry at home. This looks like most other Kreg tools in that it's geared more for guys like me, not your trade pros. That said, it looks great for MY purposes. Thanks!

Fellow roofer by trade and I diy carpentry as well. I feel the same

[@Shannon-v3r]

They worked with jessem for this, I personally almost bought the jessem a couple of years ago but my friend talked me into just getting the domino. He had spent all this money on this jig and that jig but wasnt happy until he had got the domino.

[@keithmarlowe5569]

"That's foolish. You use the one right tool for the job". Anton Chigurh, No Country for Old Men

[@Shannon-v3r]

@ well it turns out that the domino was the right tool for all those jobs and then some. It hasn’t sat in the systainer or any other drawer unused.

[@1steelcobra]

Looked up the domino/Kreg tenon pricing, for the 6x20x40mm/1.5" tenons on both, you have to buy 2.5 boxes of Kreg to match the $31 box of 190 Festool and save $4. For the big 1140 box of Festool for $119 you need 15.2 boxes of Kreg for $167. JessEm's Tenon Stock is sold at 6 12" lengths for $10 you have to cut for yourself at 8 1.5" per stick, which comes to about $40 to match a 190 pack of dominoes and almost $240 to get 1140. So if you're looking to buy loose tenons in bulk, Festool is actually going to be a better deal for better fitting tenons. Another option on this is that Woodpeckers has a mortising base attachment for plunge routers currently on sale for $170. That plus a whiteside 1/4sh/6mm spiral upcut bit comes to ~$200. Takes a little more setup, but does the same things.

[@731Woodworks]

Thanks for doing the math. I appreciate that!

[@Damon_Barber]

Great video! 🎉 99% of all woodworkers don’t know about this Game Changing Domino Killer!! 😂 But for real, this is a great option for the DIY/weekend woodworker wanting to use mortise and tenon but lack the budget to spring for a Festool.

For the once or twice a year I might think about wanting to domino join two pieces, the Kreg is a cost effective solution. Thanks for the review.

That festool is amazing, this jig can't compare.. But if you can't afford the festool, the kreg is something you could use but it's goi g to be a lot of fiddling and will take a lot more time. The festool going to give you results you can accomplish quickly and be confident about. Thanks for the video

[@MrDaneBrammage]

The question isn't why companies keep trying to sell joinery methods that are worse and more expensive than dowels, but why people keep falling for them.

[@duncanjames914]

Nice jig but are "Kreg-Ino's better than appropriately sized dowels? I use a dowel jig and it is quick and easy. Plus, dead-nuts accurate. This seems unnecessarily complicated and time-consuming.

Love the Kreg pocket hole makers...I'm a general contractor, so I've done like two mortices ( door locks) in my career...This looks like a good tool for those that use mortise and tenon...Thanks for the review.

[@RTANTIQUES]

I've seen a review on this which points out the excessive slop in the mortises with the dominos provided.

[@WillyWonka2414]

Like its loose?

[@TheSMPeto32]

Me too. And as a tooling machinist who makes assemblies, I'm not a fan of it.

[@davidewing1779]

The Wood Whisperer did a review as well. He found out that Kreg and Jessem worked together on this. His main gripe was the stability that could cause some slop. Not a big deal with the weekend warrior but maybe not for precise projects.

[@johnhancock517]

You could drill a hole in one of the edges of the plywood and slide the long side of the allen wrench in the whole. The hole would probably wear out over time, but it would work. Great video man.

[@adventureswithedna]

I got the kreg pocket hole tool as it was suggested with some desk plans I wanted to build. Absolutely loved it. Never thought I'd have so many uses for it but I've done so many projects with it now. Desks, tables, stools, noodleboards. Kreg makes a lot of tools I want now.

[@oldguy1030]

They do make a pretty good pocket jig. Mostly it is fairly inexpensive, pretty decent versatility, and fairly good joinery. All that makes it a pretty good value. The pros will use different gear for most cabinetry. Part of the reason is because they can make the pocket holes faster - but also stronger. The Castle 110 is probably the best for strong pocket hole joints but the cost is much higher, you can't get plugs for the holes, you can't use it on thick material (like a 2x4), its use is just a little bit more involved, and its router makes an unholy racket when compared to the drill motor you use with the Kreg jig.

[@brib_brib_brib_bri]

Good review, very helpful, thank you. It's kind of tempting at first blush, but I have a DowelMax already. I'm not quite convinced this tool would be better then that. The DowelMax is movable like the domino, Dowel pins are cheaper. Two (or three, four, or five) dowel pins side by side provide pretty much the same strength and alignment. I also think moving the tool to the workpiece (as the Festool and DowelMax do) has a lot of advantages over moving the work piece to the tool.

[@richarddortch6122]

I have a Mortise Master and it works really well! I does need a router, BUT I already had one of those.....

[@mikem1436]

Purchased the 3 size Jessem dowel kit last year. I am sticking with that. It's only a matter of time until Festool has a true competitor.

[@bobbywweaver]

I could see myself using a small setup block(s) on both sides of the little indexing pins for consistency, but you're right that ideally it would keep everything centered and adjust both sides at the exact same rate. Still, to save $1,200 it seems very worth it.

[@Kurt-p9l]

The products from Kreg are really, really good.

[@LYTOMIZE_Woodshop]

I saw this in person at the Boston Tools and Tailgates events in the Woodcraft stores. I liked the almost all metal composition of the tool and the whole setup (great to clamp to your bench). I have a dowel jig but I look forward to adding this to my shop until I save up for a domino.

[@bobh64]

Was able to test this a couple months ago. there is a set up process and you do have to force the handle side to side when drilling to acivate the drilling step, It's not perfect but it is a cost effected way for beginners to make floating tennons without purcasing a Festool Domino.

[@christophersmith8014]

It's nice to see what different options are available for joinery. Although, it doesn't seem like these small tenons are any better than just using a slot cutter on a router and milling your own splines. Basic splines are faster, cheaper, stronger and easier to align.

[@joshyingling]

I would have had all the tenons cut with the festool by the time you cut two with this thing. I’m not a festool fanboy but i completed jobs to get a couple of their tools and the track saw and domino are pretty great

[@b3owu1f]

As a DIYer I still spent the money ont he DF700 for the efficiency and ability to use it like a 500 (with the Seneca kit).. it just seems like its going to always be much faster, easier and produce the best quality mortises for joinery.

[@b3owu1f]

So I finally got around to using my DF700 with the Seneca kit.. was gluing up some 3/4" boards to make it wider. Works a treat. But I will say, being a big guy.. this tool gets tiring to use after about 10 to 20 pushes of it. lol. Now.. to be fair I was not resting the bottom on a flat surface to alleviate the weight, so I was using it in the air so to speak. I also have to practice more to make sure I line things up right. I was off on a couple of mortises and had to remortise a few wider. I think there is a switch or something on the device that will cut them wider for you, but have to go back and watch how to use it again lol. But very cool to just glue the tenons in, and see everything line up (once the off ones were widened).

Allen Key Storage: Get some rubber or plastic tubing that the key fits snugly in, then drill a hole in one of the edges of the plywood base big enough to accept the tubing and deep enough for the key to slide all the way in. Finish up by using CA glue to secure the tubing and Bob's your uncle.

[@CruiseMonkeyGames]

Seems like you could clamp your workpiece down and flip this little device upside down on top of your workpiece, much like theFestool. I suppose it still needs a clamp but I think something could be screwed to the base plate that would make that fairly quick and easy. Definitely something to consider for us weekend Warriors. Of course, I've been using dowels for years and they worked pretty well.

Turn buckles use right-handed threads on one end of the screw & left-handed on the opposite end. That would solve the centering problem. It would use one threaded shaft to move both ends simultaneously to always maintain centered. Scissors jacks use the same principle to raise a car straight up. When you crank the screw it pulls or pushes the two ends together or apart simultaneously.

[@ericnorman2176]

How long does it take to do each joint with either tool? What if we compare a third option - Pantorouter? Is messing with set screws faster than swapping panto templates? At present I have none of the above in my shop, but always appreciate info on which target to save for.

[@cbpuzzle]

New and fancy. But Aliexpress already sells a nice mortise jig with sliders for laminate routers for $55. And a lam router at Walmart is $25. If your goal is to have a $1700 Festool or a $300 Kreg, then go for it. If your goal is to cut aligned mortises for low cost, then...

[@frrapp2366]

a little locktite would keep the end cutter in the shank !! maybe scribe matching depth marks on the side screws at least??? also a screw knob to raise and lower the table might be nice!! Have Fun

[@joewhite917]

Kreg worked with JessEm who has a very similar Loose Tenon system that puts the drill on the top. They are phasing theirs out.

[@brandonreed7617]

Centering the cutout is an easy design fix. one set screw in the middle with springs on each size (same size and strength). having the outside guide move instead of the set screw stopper. that will make it auto center by just adjusting one set screw. It's great to beat the price and all, but you are buying a tool like this to be perfect. Eyeballing it isn't in the job description. Fix that, and the drill bits not falling out looks pretty solid.

This looks like a very cool tool, but for now I think I will stick with my dowel jigs. One alteration that I would probably make is make a duplicate base out of good quality wood or MDF , maybe 1 inch thick then cut grooves in it that would accommodate the Micro jig clamps. This would make the base nice and sturdy so you wouldn't have to screw it down to your bench.

[@CinemaCakes]

A little knob with depth indicators on the left and right set screws would make this just about perfect

[@RDSWOODWORKING]

Hey Matt if I didn't have a domino already I definitely buy the Krag

[@quargr]

Thanks, Matt, for bringing the tool to our attention, wonderful review. For my money think a doweling jointer is a better option. Freud made what looked like a good mid priced (around $500) one but discontinued it over 10 years ago. The only one I can find in the same price range is from a company called Virutex that looks good, more of an industrial tool in the same class as a Domino, but at less than half the price. However, I am not quite ready to pull the trigger as the company name is unknown to me. MaFell has 2 doweling jointers at $1300+, not going to pay that. And, the doweling jointers under $200 or so just don't have good reviews. Still, I see a mid priced doweling jointer as the "Domino killer" for those who prefer dowels and want an automation path. Until then, I still use and really enjoy my DowelMax, as the precision has never let me down. However, for plowing out a bunch of holes for dowels, sure wish I had something more automated at a reasonable cost. Thanks for your review!!!

[@chevyguy6510]

The real question is, how much more advantageous is the compared to two dowels? drilling 4 holes is going to be faster and easier to index than a slot cutter that can be unintentionally offset to one side or the other.

For larger panels, could you use the tool upside down, using the top surface as the reference? That might be easier than trying to shim it well enough to use it conventionally.

Couple of ideas, can you maybe reach in with a set of calipers and measure the stops to get them centered? Couldn't see well enough in the video.

I appreciate that Kreg is offering a quality product for folks that are looking for something like this. That being said. I don't think I would choose to purchase this over a quality dowling jig. In fact, it seems like a good dowling jig would actually be less fiddly to use and I can just use generic dowels instead of having to buy special Kreg tenons. In the end, it seems more clap-trappy than a dowling jig and slower than an actual domino.

Have you looked at Rockler Beadlock system? I don’t own one but have been considering it due to cost. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

If the bit is a friction fit in that sleeve, isn't there a chance for the cutting head to just "spin" in place? Curious if this happened to you at all? Thanks for the review. Love your channel.

If it did slip, I didn't notice it.

Great review and tool....BUT, Ryobi biscuit joiner is only slightly over half the cost and does the same thing (seems like a better option). I will say, this does look to be able to handle smaller joins, but not sure.

What do you think about good old-fashioned biscuit joiner I think it works relatively well for everything I do as much as I would like to have the domino

Well, I don't use this type of connection yet. What I want to know is what do you call those screw in to your work that lets you use bolts? It has course external threads to grab the sides of your hole and internal threads for bolts.

[@greyghostdesigns]

They're called threaded inserts. 😊

For bringing the tool to the work, cant you you take the Kreg to the work and just use it upside down? Basically just placing it on top of the work piece. Or you can use it in the upright position and just clamp it directly to the work piece?
