Domino Gadget for box building.

[Brice Burrell]

There does seem to be a fair amount of interest from others that would like one for their Dominos.  It seems my best option would be if one of the fine dealers on here (already setup for credit cards, shipping, etc.) might have an interest in handling that portion & I could just ship batches of the sole plates to them for distribution.  Please stay tuned.  [wink]

Ron, Paypal makes collecting payment very easy so there really isn't a need to sell these through a dealer. This is especially true of small for small batches. By the time you get you a fair price for your work, then add coast of shipping the items to the dealer, the dealer's mark up and then shipping again you might price some buyers out. The less this puppies are handled the better (cheaper). Of course it would be a little more work on your end, but hay, we're only talking about a small run.

Very cool idea. Count me in for one.

I love the simplicity,  and the repeatability for consistency, I would be interested.

Me too [thumbs up]

OK, I'd better get serious & do something here.  [smile]  Does the idea of a single tapped hole at the front center appeal more than using the cabinet handle attached with 2 button head screws appeal to most of you?  It would be quicker to reverse the plate if that is important to you.

One hole with a  big screw on knob!

Since I'll be buying one too, if it becomes available, might I suggest tapping the hole to the same thread as the Festool knobs so that we can all use the otherwise useless knobs that came with our clamping elements?  Make the whole thing cheaper for you to not have to supply the knob and we can use something that we all have kicking around anyway....

I like that Idea!

 

[RONWEN]

Sounds good.  I just checked mine -- they are M8x1.25 pitch threads.  It seems like it would be a pretty good knob for the purpose.

Excellent idea!  And they're easily removable sans any tools.  Is the stud length short enough to work with both ends of your support plate?  Or will it go through?
Hrrm... I suppose I could get up off my keister and go measure 'em...

Does anyone use the knobs with the clamping elements?

Yea, like you can remember the first time...  [blink]

[doh]      Oh yea, the single M8 x 1.25 threaded hole sound great!

What for? It is too much work to reach under the table to use them  [tongue]

 

[jvsteenb]

Does anyone use the knobs with the clamping elements?

To be honest: I can't even remember getting them with my clamping elements...... ?
So I guess I can truthfully say I've never used them.

Regards,

Job

I've actually used the knobs a couple of times when the clamping element wanted to tilt up away from the table as I clamped a piece, but that's very rare.

I'd be interested in one of your plates if you do a run.

I did some re-figuring & I can make & sell the sole plates for (EDIT JULY 14) $38.50 ea.+ $4.95 postage.   I'll proceed to make a batch with the M8x1.25 threaded hole for the clamp element knobs. The plywood current standard thickness of 1/2" ply is 31/64" (.484") and the standard for 3/4" ply is 23/32" (.718").  Even if using actual 1/2" thick material that only moves it off center ~.008".   It is probably a little more important to somewhat center the 4mm Domino tenons in the 1/2" stock than the 3/4" material.
After I have a batch ready to mail I'll post the PayPal information & how to order.  Any other questions?
Thanks,
Ron

 

[Wood_Junkie]

Awesome, Ron!

Just to clarify from your last post:
The 1/2" side will be intended to center on 1/2" ply (undersized, as you stated.. usually 31/64ths).

The 3/4" side will, however, be intended to center on actual 0.75" material.

Is this correct?
