Wondering about this

It's a scam Keith, too much going on there for $37.71

 

I believe this should be the more realistic cost, maybe?

Tianli Domino jig hand held mortise jig

We have made some improvements.This version is compatible with Makita RT0701C & DRT50ZX4. DEwalt DWP611 DCW600 5/16”...

 

Whew! But it's still cheaper than a Domino.

I think with a little common engineering you could make your own. A Festool Domino just oscillates  left to right...

This is the only "Domino's" I can afford and that's for special occasions. 

 

 

 

Yes, my inner scam bells were going off, but just wondered.  Thanks, all.

Wow, that actually looks really good right now!

Stumpy Nubs had a design with a HF tool a few years ago.  This architecture just seemed a bit neater.  I tried making a plunge router jig a few weeks ago but did not get the slot parallel to the fence so trashed it.

They were long overdue (IMHO) for a huge upgrade....I absolutely despised that platform they had. It was only a short time ago I found out that Martin had written that original software himself. I guess that's why I hadn't seen it elsewhere.

I rarely need to join lumber like that since I haven't been doing flat lately and I have a biscuit jointer should I need to.  I think they are selling just the bracket/fence assembly and you add your own router.  Still seems too good to be true.

Since (IMHO) biscuits and dominoes are mostly only good for panel alignment, a router cut slot/groove/dado and an inserted spline, works for me. 

The price is probably right.  Shipping will probably be $300.00.

 

Dominos increased production. If you have it you use it and defend it, if you don't you use the other  more traditional methods of construction.

Ha  look in here about 16:30 ff

 

As predicted above in the second post.

To quote an old proverb, "a fool and his money are soon parted."

While I don't have a Domino machine, I did buy some dominos-by-another-name for use to reinforce butt joints in furniture.  I've got a CNC with a jig that I can clamp just about anything into for cutting slots. I also have a router table that can easily cut slots parallel to an edge. The ready-made compressed wood floating tenons get used frequently.  

 

Alternative attempts to duplicate the zig-zag slot that Domino machines I enjoy seeing, but have no need for.   IMO the real treasure of the idea is not the machine. The ready made floating tenons are where the value is. 

A plunge base for a trim router and a template bushing, along with some templates for the different sizes of dominos and you've got the gear to duplicate every slot the Domino machine can cut.
