Domino Gadget for box building.

I made a jig out of hardwood and used the large Festool  knob on its front. After completing the jig, while screwing on the knob. I dropped it. The knob popped in half and the bolt fell out. Moral of the story is that you can open the knob and put in another. A shorter, standard thread bolt if that's what you want.

You are very welcome.  It's sort of amazing when I look at the number of different countries that I have sent those plates to already.  I hope that you enjoy it very much and it serves you well.

Got my plate the other day looks good. Just got some time to use it. Man that thing is GREAT. Thanks Ron
 
Thanks for your kind words Bob.

I have a new batch of plates ready if there are others that would like one please send me a private message.

I've had questions on where the best place is to get the knob & attachment screws -- the last I'd heard Festool's customer service was being very helpful, any other better place?

"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."
 
finally got a chance to use your plate.  it works great and the domino feels more balanced while using it, which i believe will make for more accurate joinery.  i'm amazed that you managed to make a great tool even better.

Thanks for the sole plate - it arrived a few days ago and I used it today for the first time. Every bit as good as I expected, a very nicely machined piece of work.

Wow, I'll have to check but I'm thinking that yours was sent quite a long time ago?  Most countries have been amazingly fast (with a few issues), perhaps they were playing with yours in Customs???  [smile]

EDIT:  I sent it August 9 so that was ~15 days in route.  My local post office tells me that it isn't unusual for packages to set in customs for 2-3 weeks however most of mine have been zipping right through.  At any rate enjoy it & post some picture of your projects.  [wink]

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]

My new Domino arrived today  ;D. The plate have just waited to be testet, and today it happened. Works great, even for a novice like me in my first hour of using this great tool.

Tanks again Ron for making this great addition  :)

Just so that we're clear here -- You purchased a new Domino as an add-on attachment for your Domino plate...  [big grin]

(I'm Glad you like it.)

Yes, a great add-on I must say, but a bit expensive  ;D

I must say, your adding the Domino machine certainly makes (my) Domino plate MUCH more useful...  [big grin]

From one Ron to another...THANKS. Just got mine today and it looks great.

"One Ron wants one of Ron's domino gadgets."

"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.

For those that have used these parts, how are the O-rings placed? I tried putting them on the threaded end of the clamping screws to make them captive to the plate, but that just causes the plate to sit unevenly. Is there some trick I'm missing?
