Certainly not but my point was that one can hardly expect new prices
from used equipment, particularly expendables. I wouldn't expect to
get 70% of what I paid for the Domino the day after I bought it.

I think closer to 3 seconds each actual plunge time, so about 5 hours.
Similar sized mortises with a bench top mortiser, probably 75 hours.
A savings of around $3500 of my time. That not only pays for the Domino
but the CT22 vac too, about 3 times.

Yes you could. Festool has a very high resale margin.

I must have a freaking great set of cutters! I have gone through the
original 600 5mm tennons that came with the assortment, and a
replacement case of 1800, and am into my 3rd bag of 300 from the second
replacement case. I have cut at least 3,000 mortises with the original
5mm bit and half of those were set to cut wider than the narrowest cut.
I do have the full set so I actually have an extra 5mm cutter which I
have never used. I have heard that some people are having to replace
their cutters, Am I getting a lot of mileage from my bit or have you
made more cuts with yours?

OOPS! I must have made in excess of 6,000 cuts with the original 5mm
bit to set 3,000 tenons.

I just filled mine out, one at a time. These cutters are used,
though.
