Domino pegboard

[jefm]

I've never used a Domino but I'm wondering how it would handle making something like a pegboard. What I imagine is a genuine forgery of the Ikea Skadis.

I think they could be crafted reasonably square with a jig made from a sheet of plywood, like this. The X axis could be cut with the Domino, and the Y axis could be Dominos themselves, as the peg holes are cut.

With the intended material being underlayment plywood, is it wrong to think I can screw down and shoot two/three pieces at a time, or will this 7/32" underlayment hold up to the Domino at all?
I realize I could just buy Ikea Skadis' but I want a couple rooms worth of the paneling and am entertaining ideas.

For the tool itself, I'm still deciding between the 500 and 700. I know there are scores of threads on this tedious decision already, right now I'm leaning toward the 500. If I get good enough that I need those tree trunk 700 dominos, the status will justify the upgrade.

Thanks for any help.

edit1: add ikea link and fix terrible wording.

I think this should work. Definitely do multiple sheets at a time. Stack as many as you can. Making hundreds of plunges on a grid is not fun.

Depending on the quantity it might be time well spent to find someone locally that can produce your peg boards on a cnc. It really depends on what your time is worth, because it would take a long time to plunge the domino that many times.

Question 1:
Take a piece of the material you intend to use -
To your local Festool supplier and see if the “7/32" underlayment will hold up to the Domino at all”.
Try both the 500 and 700 to see which tool works best.
Question 2:
I have both tools - Love ‘em both - But, I’d be leaning heavily towards the DF500.
A.
With that many holes to make, I’d be looking to the lighter tool - The 500.
B.
After this project, unless you’re a door/gate/bed frame maker -
I’m betting that you’ll use the 500 15X-20X’s more than the 700.

All, thanks for writing.
I did some math, and while ~480 plunges for the size of the linked pegboard does sound thrilling, it's becoming more of a CNC project.
And if it's going to be a CAD and router project, I can do entire 4x8' sheets and add features I woulnd't have bothered cutting by hand. If I do go forward with it, I'll post up on here.
I'm still into the Domino for other builds, mostly shelf, frame, bench dogs kind of things. But this project would be a few hours of plunges for a couple sheets of board. And that's why I ask the Big Questions. Thanks again.
