Thanks Mahogany, I'm glad it works well for you.  I'm simple minded so simple tools work best...  [big grin]

Ron,

I just used your Domi-Plate to do a really simple task in joining two 3/4" boards together.  I was making up a piece to fill in a section in cabinetry where I took out a double oven to install an oven/micro combo.  This is of course an easy task to do with the fence on the domino, but your plate is easy to attach and does add to the stability.  It made the tool feel much more solid in use and the end results were great.  Thanks...

Chris, lets see some more pictures of the shop, that is one nice looking table saw!

 

[RONWEN]

Thanks very much Chris!  That's a beautiful slider and of course a beautiful shop for your top notch cabinetry.  I'm happy that I can fit into your quality work. [wink]

Chris -- Also, I really like your name (Domi-Plate) for the Domino plate that I am making although it may be too close to a registered trade mark of Festool's for me to use...  [unsure]

Chris built a shop that is a showcase of showcases!  His customers can't help being in awe when they see his shop.

Although the use of Ron's Box Gadget probably almost comes natural, would anyone share his experience with it. As usual there's probably more than one application (such as ccmviking's post) and it would obviously make sense to collect more photos and practical experience! As soon as mine arrives I will of course post my own experience.

Anyone in the mood for a post?

A very interesting question, although the intent is to make the Domino quick & simple for 1/2" & 3/4" material it will be interesting to hear other ideas for it's use.  The nice thing is that it's quick to attach & remove so none of the great flexibility of Domino is lost.

(By the way, yours is on it's way (mailed Monday) -- please let me know when you receive it, and of course how you like it & your other good ideas for it.)

Also, let us not forget that it was "polarsea1" that planted the original seed of the idea.   [smile]

Ron,

Just to let you know mine arrived today - looks great, but unfortunately I won't get chance to try it for a while. Thanks!

 

[RONWEN]

I guess that didn't take too awful long in the mail.  I've also sent them to Australia, Germany, Norway and Canada.  [unsure]

Hi Ron,

Mine has arrived as well today. [big grin] Beautifully made and just in time , as I have drawer boxes for a dressing room to start tomorrow.
Many Thanks

John

Ron,

Just collected the gadget. Thanks for making it and sending it- it looks great. I ordered the knobs from Festool too.

Without pics, it didn't happen, right?

WOW, You must be a professional (or close to it) photographer?

Richard, would you mind also posting the P/N's, prices and where you ordered the thumb screws and knob?  I've got several people waiting on my next (bigger) batch of plates & it may be helpful for them to know where to order them.  I know the information has been posted "upstream" but it would save folks a lot of reading.
NOTE: I don't include the screws or knobs with the plates.

Ron, it was a quick snap with my iphone! Couldn't be any easier, so no- I'm far from a photography pro.

Here are the part numbers again. I ordered them through Festool's Customer Service Dept., although I did check my local dealer's availability first. You need 2 x 469620 (Clamping screw) and 2x 200911 (O-ring). The big knob is 487554.

I think I paid around $10 for the parts, and it's all well worth it.

Richard.

Thanks.  Did you trim about 1mm off of the knob stud or place a flat washer on it before you screwed it onto the plate?

 

[mouppe]

Not yet. I will probably add a washer rather than grinding down the stud.

Have been lurking this forum for a while now, but now I have to write something 

Got the Domiplate today, and it looks great. Not able to try it out yet since my Domino isn't bought yet.
But very soon  [laughing]

[RONWEN]

Norseman,
Glad to hear it got to you fairly quickly.  It will work much better once you've purchased a Domino to attach to it.  [big grin]

Note to ALL -- I've have around 40 new requests for my plates.  Instead of sending each of you a response please be patient & I'll try to have a batch ready to accept your orders later this coming week or early the following week.  Thanks for your support.

Ron:

the Domino plate arrived today! I guess that makes it a week to Germany.

Looking great can't wait to play with it!

Thank's again.

 

[RDMuller]

I just received my plate last week and completed 3 baby room chests over the weekend.  This plate is FANTASTIC!  Working "upside down" allows you to not have to fight the machine's weight and let's you more carefully make sure everything is squared up and gravity holds the machine in place.  Thanks Ron
