Chestnut Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Well my Christmas gift to myself this year is going to be the exact same sprayer and I'll probably end up paying full price. I think your decision was sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Check the intake air filter . Overspray and dust can clog it up. I have blown mine out with compressed air several times before replacing it. If there is a foam prefilter it can usually be gently washed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneymack Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Crazy how cheap you got that minimite for ! Not as crazy as having an unused domino for a year and a half?! What happened?

Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk I decided to learn how to do traditional mortise and tenons before i began using the domino. I'm beginning to get decent at doing them by hand, so I plan on busting it out soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that you are right, but I'm also in love with through tenons, and tusk tenons in particular. That may change once I actually start to build stuff.

With that said, having the ability to go for speed and precision is great. Through and tusk are great and if you know how to execute it, you know how. A domino doesn't claim to replace that. Those are both exposed joinery for aesthetic sake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the domino knowing that it was a game changer, especially since my time is pretty limited when it comes to woodworking. It just so happened that I met a fellow woodworker right after I purchased it, and he introduced me to hand tool use. That led to me becoming oddly fascinated with hand tools. That led to my Roubo build. That year and a half has gone by pretty fast hehe. When I started out with the goal of building fine furniture, I never anticipated using hand tools. A few Doucette and Wolf videos later, and here I am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, not enough to want to mill stock, rip cuts, or even shoot mitres as primary but we get it. I'm pretty sure I have at least one hand tool touch about ever step in a project. Less at the front end and much more at the final fit and finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I bought a Mini Mite 4 about 18 months ago as well. It's a great machine and sprays beautifully. I paid 749 for it brand new, shipped. (Eric you got screwed) I've sprayed latex paint (to paint my garage door,) poly, and GF High performance with it. Not a single complaint about it.

I haven't slept with the domino yet, but since I put my Roubo in a guest bedroom...I've slept in that room quite a few times.

Coop is definitely right about that part. I'll disagree with the biscuit/Domino comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
