A creative way to use the Domino Joiner (aka a game changer)

Well, here's the Festool solution for only $365...

  That pricey assembly of polycarbonate is a great solution if you have the application for it. We used it for routing grooves to hold thick T&G panels in the architectural door class. With a 2200 it makes short work of the job. Decent dust collection too. But for just a lark, dang that's expensive. I will say, it's a nice accessory if you need it. Since both fences are adjustable, you can do offset grooves as well within the limits of the range of adjustability. We have two at work but have yet to sell one....I got a little too excited after the door class..... [eek]

Using DF700 will result in non flat bottom of the mortice - not good for bridle joint shown later. I would only do that if did not have a router. But if you have DF700 you probably have several routers.

Link says "expired". That was quick.

Yep, link not working.

Yeah Cheese, that is essentially what I was talking about by rigging it to stand vertically and use an edge guide.
Holding that big router horizontally would not be my choice for sure. If you give the fences enough slack to actually slide, the router will be able to tip. That is not good for consistent grooves either.
Standing the whole thing vertically would help with that. The edge guide itself could come in several forms, even shop-built.
The acrylic Festool unit is the most expensive way.
Getting an additional edge guide to go on the opposite side of the original one would accomplish the same, still with all Festool parts, for considerably less money. There is a Youtube video showing exactly this method, Paul Mercel I believe.
A totally shop-built, 2-sided fence, base would do it too. If it was done with a Festool router, the chip collection would be better than others.

Isn''t that what FT tries to be all about, saving time (without lossing quality)?

Pity we can't see how much time it truly took. Looks great  [thumbs up]
