A new year is almost upon us and I’m going to tell you folks about my tool purchase plans for this year and see if I can get some good advice.

Ok, so I am sitting here weighing the costs of some tools. On the one hand, the Festool Domino set with dominos, guides, and a dust collector for approximately $1300. On the other hand, I need a table saw and a planer. The money for the domino would likely cover these items. Which way do I go?
