Am I the only one that want a slot width between the narrow and middle one?
I find the differences too much between the different slot widths and never use the widest setting.
 
I agree.  I would like to have the range be tighter.  Currently it is 0,6 and 9(?)mm...I think 0, 3 and 6 mm would be more appropriate.
 
Just make your own dominos, half the added width, problem solved. ;)
I started to even make tight fitting ones for the widest mortise setting. Easy, fast and a good way to get rid of some of your scraps...
 
I agree also - another approach is to always use the first setting and if you need a small adjustment just use a utility knife to shave off a little from some of the dominos.

I don't use the widest setting that much, but it does come in handy when you're doing edge joining of long boards, and for complicated domino joinery, like when you are simultaneously joining with two axes (pl. of axis) of dominoes perpendicular to one another.  Gives you more wiggle room to fit the pieces together.
