Domino in action

[bill-e]

Rick, thanks.

You must have ESP because last night I discovered the same thing about the length of the dowels and the depth of the mortises and this morning I shot a new video because I bought a new camera and it does a better job at video clips than the old one does.  Luckily I didn't mention anything about the width adjustment other than you have to adjust with the motor running

I actually didn't really mean accuracy, I meant repeatability of the mortise width.  I read somewhere that if you adjusted the width with the mortise off it would not necessarily have adjusted to where you thought...cant remember where I read that though.

Domino end grain mortise.....I still need acting lessons though .

Good job Bill.  We really dont care about the acting lessons.  It is much appreciated that you (and others) take the time and effort to provide us with reviews, tips, videos, etc.  It's a great way to learn the tool while waiting for victory in the next raffle!

Yeah,  ...and the wait is killing us!  This looks like a GREAT tool!  Love seeing what it can do.

It's worth waiting for I have had mine for two weeks (UK) and it makes cabinet making easier and more robust. The one thing to watch for is aligning your work, unlike a biscuit jointer there is very little margin for error the upside being that the work is very strong

Actually I think that if you use it like a biscuit joiner where you have some play along the width of the biscuit, the Domino does that if you selecting one of the two wider mortise widths.  Where you have to worry about 2 axis alignment is when placing an exact position mortise....it's not hard you just cant be sloppy.  Being exact with the Domino is pretty easy.

I agree it has exposed some of my sloppy practices!  I have gone back to basics and built some simple cabinets to really get the techniques down. practice as always makes perfect
