I had a problem with my Domino when I just got it in that the fence slipped slightly with every cut. It was very dissapointing. It was suggested I send it in for service so I did. I'm a hobbyist so it's been sitting for a few months until last night. I needed to edge join some hardwood panels for the kitchen cabinets I've just started (I'm using European steamed beech and there is no plywood available in this species). The boards ended up offset less than 0.005" of each other. Now I'm happy and have confidence in this tool Big Grin.

I noticed the same thing, but I attributed to my status as a novice woodworker, rather than a problem with the machine. I noticed last night that, when I was using the smaller bit, there was a lot of vibration when I plunged into the wood, and the fence seemed to be creeping down a lot between cuts. I did NOT see the problem however, when I was using the larger bit (in fact, I was very amazed at how close the matched cuts were).
