Well after another two months of stewing I decided the best way to get rid of temptation was to give in to it and I bought the Dowelmax. Delighted with both the product and the service. As for the price… 300$ in the bank earns 2% after tax i.e.$6 a year. With inflation at 4% this means I was losing £6 a year….misery.
Converting the cash into the Dowelmax means I have an asset which will last a lifetime, (or several lifetimes), appreciate in value, make/save money by using it on projects for the home or for sale and enjoy the use of it on a daily basis…..joy.
Remember, the sweet taste of a low price is a passing pleasure…the bitter taste of poor quality lasts forever.
My only regret is that I did not buy it two years ago when I first became aware of it.

”...the sweet taste of a low price is a passing pleasure…the bitter taste of poor quality lasts forever.”
Or to paraphrase—buy once, cry once. :)
I’ve heard good things about the Dowelmax. It’s in my shopping cart at Lee Valley… one of these days I’ll have to pull the trigger.

Nice. I’d love to have one of these. You’ll have to post a review for us after you’ve used it awhile.

I have already used it to make several things and I can’t fault it. I didn’t post a review because there are already numerous reviews praising it. The company do a very good instructional DVD for free would you believe and I would recommend any potential buyer to order it from their website.

I like your reasoning for purchasing a new tool. I better go out and buy a bunch of tools before I go broke. ;-)
