What it concludes
- The Festool Domino is the top-tier joinery tool, earning high marks across setup, dust collection, speed, and safety.
- The Tianli router jig is well-machined but lacks instructions and performs poorly on edge joints, face frames, and safety.
- The Komax handheld mortiser suffers from loose tolerances, lack of dust collection, and poor safety and setup design.
- For those who can afford it, the Festool Domino is highly recommended as a great tool, while budget router jigs are not worth the money for most woodworkers.
