Cross Stop with 4mm Dominos

[Dusty.House]

Am I correct in saying the pin in the cross stop doesn’t fit into a 4mm domino hole?

Yes, but it is quite easy to adapt them to the use for 4 mm domino's. As a matter of fact I have a second cross-stop exactly for that.

How did you adapter it? Buying a second set makes a bunch of sense!

This is my solution, thanks to a suggestion from Chris:

I just removed the pin from the stop and sanded it down to a diameter of 4 mm (using a caliper to regularly check how much material was removed). I did this using the fixture for the pig tail mandrel on my linnisher (adapted it with a small jeweller's clamp), but I think a pillar drill would be just as good for this.

Maybe buying a new cross-stop just for this is a bit overkill, but the smaller pins have do have some impact on the offset. For most applications this might not be of any significance at all. In that case it might not be needed to buy a second cross-stop.
