Domino trim stop

I used the Domino trim stop [LA-DF 500] today for the first time.  Wow!  Talk about fast and accurate.  The video is not an exaggeration in the least.  Minimal set-up, easy adjust of the width and you're ready to do some fast and accurate end piece work.

It is a very well thought out attachment.  It fits on very quickly and easily.  One set screw on each side fits into a well made for just it - tighten and voila - it's on. 

Set each of the side guides using the scale on each side - confirm using the clear center guide and you're off to the races.  I butted the pieces [38 mm wide] against one of the fixed stops with my fast clamp set placed Domino on the end and made mortises - all the same - all perfect.  Made doing some kitchen cabinet doors samples a real breeze.  A real quality product made very cost-effectively and profitably.  Important things for me.

I find the more I use Domino, the more I use it.  I'll have some posts on my blog latere on this weekend/first part of the week.

How snug or loose (in relation to the workpiece) do you want these side guides?

I think you want this one to be pretty snug.  The tolerance on the end pieces was close enough that I wanted a pretty precise mortise.  There was virtually no wiggle room using the guide.  I really like the precision and the great tenon fit with no hassle that I get.
