Domino cutter identification

[art stratemeyer]

Is there a way to simply look at the unit and tell what size cutter is installed ??  I know they are color coded in the carrying case but can't seem to see the color when it is installed.

 

[Warrior]

If you push the motor unit the bit will stick out and you can see if it is big, a little less big, small, or smallest. ;D

Chuckle .. I can just see putting that in a procedure manual for my guys

 

[Brice Burrell]

Art the cutters are maked on the shaft (threaded end). You do have to remove the motor unit to see it.

 

[Tezzer]

The 10, 8 and 6mm are obvious and the 5 is easy because the base shaft curves up forming the cutter

 

[Raf]

Simple; in my systainer is a small box with the four cutters ... the one missing in that box is in my domi !

Now you have got me confused. 

When I have a 5mm cutter in my Domi there is still a 5mm cutter in the plastic box of 4.

Are the 5mm's breeding and if so can I expect new born 6, 8 and 10 mm cutters in the near future? ;

 

[Rocker]

Unfortunately, the discriminatory faculties of Americans have been dulled by the imperial system; the rest of us have no particular difficulty in identifying which cutter is which; we just look at it, and if it is very small, it is 5mm, if small, then 6 mm, if medium, 8 mm, and large 10 mm; really not that hard ;D

I see ... I think you are confused with the 5mm that came with your domi. Probably you did not know that this is a dummy and is useless. Send it to me and I will take care of it.

After that, my tip with "the missing cutter in the box is the one in the domi" will work day after day ! Promised !  ;D

It's yours Raf.

But I have had a quick look at the dummy cutter and it seems the spiral is the other way round. I wonder if you use this cutter to put the shavings back if you Domi in the wrong place?
;D

Pat you somehow got an Australian cutter.

You could be right but I think its an Irish one. You Domi from the other side of the wood.

Pat,

I took care of the problem of the dummy cutter on my very 1st project.....  seems that metric domi cutters really don't like imperal staples...  one 1/4" staple made quick work of the 5mm cutter!!!

Or to put it another way..... 

One Dummy took care of the dummy cutter
