[Tarhead]

This may be old info for some of you Festoolians but for future Festool surfers:

CMT has a set of replacement bits for the Domino:

Jury is out on their performance but if past experience with CMT is any indication they should do well. My 5mm and 6mm are due for a replacement soon. Hopefully the patent lawyers can wait a little bit before they start billing hours.

Tenyru has replacement blades for the 160mm saw:

The ripping blade is the same kerf as the other Festool blades which helps deal with the zero clearance strip on the guide getting boogered up when you use the Panther blade. The other blades have had good reports. Their Gold Medal series is top notch.
And the Kapex:

Keep the blood on the inside.

Guess I need a Domino to see how good they really are.
