Well, I don't have any of the jigs yet. I would be interested to see first hand the differences. I haven't come up with a jig for the Domino, but I did come up with another use for it that I haven't seen mentioned. If you remove the bit and shove an unsharpened pencil in their with the eraser end sticking out, turn it on and it makes quick work removing pencil marks.  Ken, I think you need to post a video demonstrating this 'advanced technique'!  |

Ronwen,
finally was able to put the unit to test yesterday. Very handy in quickly joining 1/2" baltic birch. I haven't worked with the 3/4" stock yet, but I'm sure results will be similar. This makes the work quick and no need to add spacers to fence, just screw it in and go! Big kudos from me!
Now what's this other Domino gadget you're workin' on....

Julian, I'm not sure I see it the same way as you. I don't own one of these gadgets because my Domino fence works perfectly fine. I'm sure there are plenty of other Domino owners that feel the same as I do. I'm not trying to devalue your opinion, I'm just saying yours isn't the only view on this matter.
My fence works perfectly fine too. But when I use the plate I get better results. Give it a try and see if it isn't at least a little bit better. I second you. The domino is a fantastic tool, but the plate is a great jig that amplifies its usefulness when working with plywood. You can see how many happy users there are of it on the FOG. Every woodworker knows that jigs are an essential part of the trade. I have several that have only one purpose. This is one more. My Domino originally had the creeping fence disease - ruined several pieces of nice hardwood (moved a few thousands on every cut). Sent it for service and it seems to hold but always wondering in the back of my mind if the fence is holding tight. Then I saw the domiplate and couldn't resist this tool. I use the Domino more often with 100% confidence. I can concentrate on the plunge and not watch for a slipping fence. Maybe this has been discussed before but why are the vertical fence height stops place on the unloaded side of the sliding fence? If the stops were on top there would be no need for this aux. plate.

Yep, It's a very small world. I've been to Seneca Hardwoods many, many times, the owner was a high school classmate. Have you been to their new place just off of I-80 near Emlenton? It's worth the trip just to see the building inside (lots of old barn beams, etc.) They have a large number of craftsmen's furniture on display there. Another classmate set-up the Foxburg winery and developed all of the wines -- He has promised to get me into (good) wine making this summer. Please let me know how you like your Domino plate. Ron Hi Ron, NO kidding, I'l have to take a ride up to see the new digs in Emlenton. Now that's different than than the guys in town that sale lumber right. What's the company's name?  I"ve been in there before also with the inlays in the floor and the fireplace construction that is beautiful.... Where about is the new place? Really like the Foxburg Inn and the new hotel there. Sometimes the wife and I ride up on the BMW for a Sunday brunch...... That's just a nice area! right alone the Allegheny right on the water....I was sitting at brunch one day looking out onto the water and a nice little yellow sea plane landed on the water, taxied over to the hotel and he and his wife got out with there luggage and went inside. Very cool.......Next time I'm in your area I'll drop you a line. Possibly we can hook up....I'll let you know about the plate. I"m in the middle of some large glue ups and the shop is a mess .. take care Ben |

I received my Domino gadget (base plate?) a few days ago and have been making domino dust with it ever since. I works exactly as described and makes the Domino joiner even better. Thanks Ron,

Hi Ron,
My Dominoplate came in today. 6 days from you to Holland, not bad at all!
First some test joints, and the the upcoming project of a toy for my grandson.
Best, CJ'60

CJ, I must be sending enough of these all over the world that the Customs folks (getting to know me  ) are passing them right through... I would love to see a picture of your grandson's new toy. Ron Yeah, the plate gets through customs easier than I do when visiting the US. Maybe because it's outbound The toy will be (I hope) the first project that will pass my perfectionism/shame treshold and will get shared as WIP. His birthday is March 18, by then I should be finished  Best, CJ |

Just a random follow-up. I love this accessory. Using the Domino is just *that* much easier. Perfect face and exterior alignments. Fabulous in its simplicity.

I don't know how many more testimonials this thing needs.
But here's one more.
After my first test piece this morning, without even using a knob on the plate, I'm in awe. It's everything I'd hoped. This thing would have saved me a day or two of futzing, adjusting, and sanding down edges on my last job.

Hi Ron, I am going to order one of these as soon as I buy a Domino.(hopefully sooner rather than later) I am a graphic designer for my day job. I would love to do a logo for your "Domiplate?" free of charge if you don't already have one. I designed a logo for my "Boom-Boom" that I made last week. I have posted it in the Festool jig & tool enhancement section under the name "I made a Boom Boom"  I used the Festool font. Unfortunately there is not a font out there that is close so I re-created it. I am also the person who made the imperial ruler for the TS55. I can laser cut you a foil logo to mount on your plate just for giggles  . Also on the house. I love to see that there are still people out there willing to lend a helping hand! Hope I can help, -Tim |

Hope I can help, -Tim That sounds interesting. I do them on a CNC mill so I could mill a logo into the face with no extra setups. I really hesitate to use "Domiplate" as many people call it -- it seems possibly too close to a trademark or copyright of Festool and I don't want to upset my favorite tool manufacturer. Perhaps a contest to come up with a name for it??? CNC! That sounds even better! I can e-mail you the vector form or I can even convert it to autocad. The name competition sounds fun, but I like the name you already have for it. I personally don't think it is to close to the name Domino. I thought you named it after a pizza company . Seriously though I can't imagine Festool making much stink about it. |

Tim, There is a font out there which is very close - Eurostile Bold Extended #2. Jonny, I read that linked post. That was the exact problem I had with a font that I found. Festool's corners are slightly rounded. Kinda like running a router in a sign template. I am just really anal about trying to get stuff perfect. Nobody outside my wife and kids will ever see my boom boom logo in person. I've got issues. Anyway, thanks for the comment! -Tim P.S. I think "DomPlate" would be a good name too! Think...Template |

I also want to say that the Domino Gadget is a very simple and handy accessory. It is well worth the money. I have been working on an entertainment center and have used the Gadget for many Domino's. I choose to use 2 cap head screws, I can tighten with an allen wrench, to attach the gadget to the Domino, as I have a hard time gripping the small Festool Knobs that I purchased. Thank You Ron for the Gadget and I am looking forward to seeing what your next Gadget is going to be.
Ivan
