Domino XL

[Rembo]

The XL does take a certain strength and endurance to operate, the 500 is piece of cake next to it. I'm a 27 year old farm boy and i am happy to have the muscle mass i have, the first couple mortises are easy but when your making like 40 mortises on a door, which isn't unusual then you feel the last ones. Though i wouldn't call it truly exhausting or painful.
just try lifting one a couple of times at the store using one hand only on the rear handle, the 500 is held at the center so it's balanced, the 700 is held at the rear like a watering can, it multiplies the weight considerably.

I was looking forward to picking up my 700 XL tomorrow ... now I'm starting to think I should get 2 ... I don't want my left and right arms to be as different as Roger Federer's  [eek]

Yes, a few long the plant affects the immersion .. where XL is not included in the work .. but the button works, no problem! DF DF 500 and 700 are different mill for different tasks. I'm not going to bet on low-power cutter with a diameter of 89 mm, and a powerful 6 mm.
everything is relative. I need the same two Domino.

Doing anything over and over again can be tiring but the XL is not that bad at all. I suffer from arthritic wrists yet have no problem handling the XL (or the OF2200). I have not done more than about 36 joints without a break and so might struggle if I had 50 doors to make - I hate production line work!

as if it did not sound ridiculous. Domino makes the production line! I made more than 2000 slots Fraser XL and think 10 times more Fraser DF500. I submit further work without Domino? I think not.

and still had to grease the rails today, mill oil for sewing machines. Now is another matter! until it was tight immersion.
