Yeah, I screwed up. It is projected for June 1, Canada and the USA.
You're thinking about buying one pretty quick, aren't you?

I didn't think it would be for sale in the US until June 1, has that
changed?


Paul-Marcel is a good dude ... I like his presentation manner.

Fine, so he gets one. But, the real question is, what tool do you have
to borrow/trade for it when you do your middle of the street exchange?

What do you think you might use it for? Do you make doors or windows
by any chance? Granted, you're a home builder so there's probably many
places it could be used that can't be imagined by the general
carpenter.

First off if Swingman gets the XL, his would be bigger than mine.

Isn't that reason enough??? LOL

Well, I'm certainly trying to keep the tool budget in shape to get one
when they come out.

If I jump, I will probably sell my Multi-Router, both to make some space
in the shop, and for the convenience of being able to bring the tool to
the workpiece, instead of vice versa.

The jury is still out ... providing not too many more unexpected
expenses, like the downstairs AC unit's coil needing to be replaced
yesterday, which would have paid for the DominoXL handily. :(
