No Domino Joiner? No problem

This is exactly why many dedicated furniture shops don't find the Domino Joiner an appeal or a game changer. They have shop-tested jigs to cut all the joints required with a router or use dowels. The Domino Joiner will benefit those, hobbyists or not, who constantly have to address different joinery needs most.

It's really nothing unusual to rout mortises with a router and a jig, which have long existed before the Domino arrived. She made the following claim about making mortises with her jig, but nothing could be further from the truth:

Of course, if you're a YouTuber looking for subs and clicks, you've got to start with an appealing claim. (And based on her claim, I could only conclude that she has never really used a Domino machine in a project.)

Trend makes a mortise and tenon jig. It cost about ten times what the PC jig did back in the day.
