Watched some videos including this one ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td8aKnDm5cI ) ( https://produkte.mafell.de/en/drilli...doweler-ddf-40 ) and I was very impressed and it has sparked my curiosity. The fence is better with a rack and pinion system, a better engineered cross stop, some useful extra stops and 2 quick depth settings. There is also a long and accurate alignment jig for cabinet work. The cutters are 32mm apart which takes care of your shelf systems without the need for an extra jig like Festool's LR32. The other benefit is it uses inexpensive and cheap dowels compared to expensive dominos (unless you making them your self) . It doesn't have the wiggle room setting like the domino but it doesn't need it. Don't get me wrong, I own the Domino and love it and would never give it up, its just this is an impressive and at last a viable alternative. The main problem is there aren't that many Mafell retailers except in Europe/UK and there aren't that many 3rd party suppliers like there are with Festool including Seneca, TSO, FC tools etc. there is a distinct lack of resources
Anyone own one and would care to comment on its pluses and minuses.
