Hello,

is there a easy/safe way to use the Domino with a mortise depth setting of less than the 12mm setting on the tool?

thanks

I believe you can put a bit of PVC tube slotted over the guide rods to limit the depth.

There's a technique in the supplementary manual for the Domino, available at festoolusa.com that puts a piece of pvc pipe on the rod the Domino runs on to shorten the depth to a custom length.  You can also put a spacer between your workpiece and the domino.

But I'm not sure that a domino less than 12mm is going to do much for you - thats a very short tenon.

Try it on scrap first to make sure it achieves the result you are looking for.

OK thanks for that info.....that may work in this case..

It can be accomplished by placing a scrap of your desired thickness between the machine and your workpiece. Say you want an 8 mm plunge. Set machine to 12 and place a 4 mm thick piece of scrap between your workpiece and the cutter.
