Dropped $200 on a Festool domino and kind of regret it

Bought it for a kitchen job in Austin last month thinking it would speed up my work. Thing is finicky to set up right and I spent more time fiddling than just using dowels. Anyone else find these things overrated for face frame work?

Swapped my domino for a biscuit joiner on face frames and never looked back. The domino works great for big structural stuff but for cabinets it just gets in the way. Once I stopped fighting with it and went back to the simpler tool, my speed jumped right up. Sometimes the expensive gear just isn't the right fit for the job.

Always figured I was missing something with the domino, but this makes a lot of sense actually.

Whoa, I'd say the Domino is actually great for face frames once you dial in the setup, just takes some practice.
