Repair damaged 10mm bit, Domino

I can't imagine it would be worth the coin to repair; these are fairly inexpensive bits, and you may find the "fix" is almost, as, or more $$$ then to simply replace.

Thanks for reply Bob.

They cost $105 here in New Zealand, so not what you would call inexpensive!

CMT makes bits for the Domino. You may find that they are available locally. If not, there are other places to get them.

I replyed to this, but god alone knows where it went.

I shall try again.

Thank you Tom, I tried to order from CMT, but had trouble with card, will try later.

A fraction of price of NZ supplyer.

I wonder if they are TC like the Festool ones?

It’s often been the debate regarding the massive difference in pricing with the US and AUS and now Kiwi land.

Out of curiosity what is the average Tradesman’s wages in the USA?

In Australia Electricians are our highest on average 106K per year, and Hairdressers the lowest on around 38k. I suppose it’s all relevant to the pricing of goods and services… But then again I might be wrong.
 
is that 106k us-dollars per year in australia? or is that in australian dollars?

106K AUD. Its a lot of cash. It only took place 3 weeks ago, that a trade in Australia broke the 100k mark when the ETU (Electrical Trades Union) signed off on a deal with the Federal Government. It annoys me they get so much when Woodworkers who have so much more talent and some are true Artists/craftsmen get around 40K on average.
 
wow, that really IS a lot of cash!
well, that explains at least part of the price difference i guess...

except a domino is not an electrician's tool

Whats that got to do with it. ???

I was making the comparison between Australian and US wages in an attempt to show the disparity between your pricing and ours.
 
In Canada, the 10mm cutter is about $50 CDA.  Using a currency converter, that would make the cutter in NZ dollars about $80 US or CDA.  I don't know if they a sales tax on top of that.  Here in Canada, depending on how rich/aggregious the province you live in, you'd be adding anywhere from 5 to 15% sales tax on top.  [sad]
 
Some things make me scratch my head and wonder how the math works.  I go to Auckland, NZ on business on a fairly regular basis and really enjoy the wines there.  When I go to the wine stores the prices for their wines are almost double (after conversion) for the same wines I can buy here in the States.  Surprisingly, California wines are sold there for about half of normal US price.  Makes absolutley no sense.

Do you mean to say I can buy my two-buck-chuck for one dollar in New Zealand?
 
I don't know anything about the wine here, but a case of beer (Heineken [tongue]) will cost you about EUR 10 (USD 13).

An electrician will make about EUR 28K (USD 37k) and a carpenter is on a wage around EUR 40k (USD 53k) per year.

The 10 mm Domino bit is exactly EUR 36,89 including VAT (USD=48,77/CDA=49,22/ADA=49,39/NZD=64,98)
 
If they are that expensive I think I can buy you one over here (Belgium) and ship it to you at cost and even then you would make a huge profit...

You should take a 10mm domino bit on your next trip  [big grin]

By the time I pay all the import duties the price will go up quite a bit on a bunch of them.  They go through your bags pretty well looking for contraband.  I normally have a lot of work related items which makes going through customs a headache after a 12 hour overnight flight.
