Kreg MortiseMate Review – Should Festool Be Worried?

Video - November 8, 2024

Kreg recently released a new tool that appears to be a straight shot at the Festool Domino. It makes the mortises with any drill and does so via a clever mechanism that advances the bit about 1/16″ per pass. Kreg also sells Domino-like tenons that complete the system. But is it a Domino killer? Watch this Kreg MortiseMate Review to find out!

Can you mount/use the Kreg jig rotated at 90 degrees so that the drill is pushing down?

Just checked out Jess-em. If you want to do bevels, you must purchase the workstation from Jess-em, as the bevel attachment is part of the workstation. That is currently $419 for the workstation with bevel attachment and the loose tenon cutter. Otherwise it’s $319 for the cutter only, now that Christmas shopping season is over. Still a very competitive price vs Kreg.
