That's a brilliant use of the vise.

Nice use of a vise haha. Very clever Randy, good work.

I got it at an estate sale for $12. It sat around a long time until I needed a lead-screw. ha!

Nice! You made your own Festool Domino machine albeit I would guess for around $800 less.

Very cool machine sir. I was going to make one of these but I discovered Mathias' Pantorouter and bought that instead. Have you heard of it? He sells plans for you to make it out of wood. If you built this you'll love that, and I'm sure you can make it. I decided to buy it over making it because my time is scarce. One other thing, what type of camera are you using? I want to make sure I never get one(just kidding around). You should keep it stable when filming, I get nauseous with the shaking video. Nice job.

I'm a big fan of Mathias Wandel. He also made a horizontal slot mortiser on his channel. He has two pantorouters and sold another, but he still uses his slot mortiser for some things - it's just easier to setup than the pantorouter for certain tasks (slots). That was taken with a phone. I got a digital camera this week. Thanks for the comment though!
