Bought some aftermarket goodies for my DF 500

[Stevenski]

I ordered some accessories for my new Domino from a really nice gentleman here in Poland who has a 3D printing business.
He even threw in some freebies of new products he's introducing soon.

10mm offset jigs
Domino centre marking jig
set of plunge stops
after market thickness gauge (with the infamous 18mm setting )
and I also had him print a couple of centrotec holders I found on printable.com

count me a happy bunny

This is a good sign because after all spending this extra money, there's no going back to ... dowels -- yeah, I'm just teasing Packard!

I've been thinking of making a wall-mounted drill/battery/charging station and those Centrotec holders are a GREAT idea.

They are already up and they work a treat - I'm already feeling the benefit of having them so easily accessible

@Stevenski Nice haul there!

The plunge stops particularly will be handy!

Do you have the files for the center marking jigs to share?

What are the 10mm jigs for or how are they used?

Unfortunately I don't have the file for the center finders. This the new item that Phillip will be launching soon. If you would like, I can send you his contact details - I'm am sure he can put them in a small envelope. They are really sturdy, a good fit and - importantly - I found them to be dead on accurate.

Here is a link to a video of the offset jig HERE Scroll to the second photo for the video and be sure to turn on the sound
Its principle is similar to a waste side jig for the track saw. Really simple but will be very useful I think

My thinking, also. Well worth a bit of space in the systainer !

Thx. I already have a wooden set of Domino centers.

The green stuff fits around a domino to mark it's center?

Mortise Center Finders for Festool Domino

Mortise Center Finders are a quick and easy way to find the center of a mortise location so that center point can be used for layout or for transferring mortise locations to another workpiece. Have you ever forgotten to mark locations for mortises on all of your workpieces being joined? Or...

Thread 'Domino Joiner - Shop-made Mortise Center Finders'

Nov 14, 2022

Sometimes we need to find the centerline of a milled mortise (to transfer the line or to repeat the cut to fix an error, e.g.). Someone sells a 3D printed product (about $30 Cdn for a pack of 6 of one tenon size -- so you need to spend $150 if you want to cover all the sizes). Another fellow woodworker cut a tenon in the middle partially and used it with a square to transfer centerlines.

I found it simplest to make a bunch of center finders by using the paddles or spring stops. So I marked pencil lines around the blocks 37mm from the edges, and cut the mortises. The pencil lines give the...

@Coen Exactly that. I inserted a domino into one of them in the photo. It allows you to mark and the. Carry the center line of the domino. Probably not a very frequent Task but still…

 

[ChuckS]

The domino center finders are indeed used only once in a blue moon (used only twice with my shop-made centers in my 10 years+ of using domino joinery).

Frankly for me, the fun lay more in the making of those finders than using them as the time saved was minimal given how unoften they are used (in my case, to fix some mistakes).

This is another after-market domino product that I was gifted recently but have never used -- yet:

Mortise Marker - FastCap

I wouldn't have spent any money on it if I had to pay for it myself.

I've printed quite a few things for my Festool arsenal since I bought my 3D printer. Those chuck holders are among them. Extraction adapters for my older tools (ATF-55 and RO150), zero clearance for the Kapex, various other things such as holders for the sander I keep near my bench, battery holders, etc., are also in the set of things I've printed.

 

[Crazyraceguy]

The chuck holders are pretty slick. I've never seen them before.
Heck, I still have a few Makita battery mounts that are still sitting in a drawer, unused. I need to get around to that.
I'm still looking at 3D printers, undecided.

[luvmytoolz]

@Stevenski I think that's all the argument that's needed! ;-)

 

[ChuckS]

As a woodworker, I'd probably do "it" when I'm no longer able to do meaningful woodworking (e.g. because I'm a bit too old) and begin to sell most of my woodworking tools. Getting a 3D printer at that time would allow me to learn something new (good for the brain) and get engaged.

Enjoy your new toys!

I had seen that 10mm Offset Jig on Maker World a few months ago, and it had puzzled me.

Thank you for that IG video, it finally turned on the light bulb for me.

I like that gauge. Ages ago, Seneca printed a gauge to my spec that was mostly an offset block. I use it all the time and marked it up with additional things I would have liked on a 'production' version. I never coordinated with Ryan to finish it. I like how this one works in a different way. May print it up to try them both
