Humm, the bit swings in an arc so you'd need to square up the cut. ...and Brice has just the hand plane to do that with!  |

Brits and Europeans, is there any interest in my bringing a batch of these over?
Ron are you open to wholesale orders?
we've had interest from a few US dealers who are interested... we're putting together a plan to do this in the near future. I would be open to exporting a batch for you to sell... I'll have to do some more research about what the best way is to do this (eg, things like the most economical way to ship and if we need to do anything differently for customs, etc). Drop me an email - info@senecawoodworking.com and I'll let you know as we are closer to being ready to do this. |

I was going through a shipment of parts I picked up from the machine shop, and I found this one Domiplate that was significantly larger than the ones we have made now. In fact, If I had to accurately describe its size, I wouldn't just call it large, I would say it was **XL!**  I'll need to call them and let them know they made a mistake... |

I ordered the Domiplate earlier this month and have been able to use it on a couple of projects. It's fantastic!
As it turns out, the extra handle provided with the RAS115 + a washer or two works with the Domiplate. Most people probably wouldn't have to go to such extremes but I thought I'd throw it out there. (It so happened that the Festool knob was out of stock when I ordered and I don't have clamping elements knobs).

Just a note to let people know we've had a backlog for Domiplates (and other products) at the engraver -- very slow progress -- Sorry. It's time for us to purchase our own laser to eliminate that bottleneck.  |

Ron,
I showed your plate to a guy I'm renting shop space from and he immediately ordered one. He said it was a no-brainer. This guy uses his domino more than I use my chop saw...
Great product and easy to endorse!

It's time for us to purchase our own laser to eliminate that bottleneck. Ha. I was just coming here to post the same thing. Our laser engraver moved locations recently... he's actually a sign and trophy shop... and his business has tripled because of the better location, so that's where the current bottleneck is. Hopefully we'll fix this soon. Thanks everyone for being patient! |

Received my domiplate this week and just used it for the first time. I installed the bolt that came with the plate and placed it into my festool knob and figured it was the right length. Stupid me, I didn't even check to feel if it was sticking past the other side of the domiplate. Looking at it, it looked flush. After making all the pockets in three pieces of 1"x12" x 9' pieces of red oak for a table, I noticed little bolt imprints in the wood and was mad at myself for not noticing the bolt was slightly too long. I'm going to throw in a larger cutter and hopefully that will fix it, but people should know you need to grind that dang bolt so it doesn't stick through, why did I assume. The plate is very well made and should be a joy to use from here on out.

Jay, just pop in some washers. Before getting the correct size bolt, I put a couple neoprene washers on it since I could take the knob off and on without losing them (or forgetting them). I can listen to metal, can't grind it though  |

You can also open the knob and wrap a few turns of small wire. put knob back together and you are done.

Thanks guys, I just put it up to the side of my wheel grinder, in fact so little needed to be ground off that it didn't even touch the threads. Paul I've watched all your videos, they are so well done and have really helped me a lot, and I was thinking of your trick you mentioned, but thought you didn't have the newer plate with the correct bolt. I didn't even notice it until I had made all the pockets, I felt like a maroon, totally my fault, but I hope others check like I didn't. Well I went up a cutter size and for my first project with the domino, this 3' 9' top came out sooo much smoother than biscuits, it doesn't even need sanding practically. I found the biscuits would make the joining surfaces slightly off plane sometimes, the domiplate and the domino are a real joy to use, and the results are fantastic. I would post pics, but I need to figure it out finally.

Thanks, Jay Meant to add to the previous reply that for the dings from the bolt, you might get away with pouring a bit of boiling water in the divot and let it puff up the compressed fibers. Let it all dry before sanding or you won't be happy |

I'm definitely going to try that. It should at least minimise the sanding, thanks for the tip.
