DOMINO XL DF 700. tenon not perfect

[ghalib1399]

I’ve been dealing with a problem for a long time.
Every time I use DOMINO XL DF 700
, the tenon come not perfect, and this causes an issue when I try to assemble the pieces together, as they don’t align properly.
Is the problem with the machine?

I don't have a Domino, but it sure looks like the fence is not parallel to the cutter.

It's off by quite a bit. Should be not difficult to see which one is out of wack.
When you put the machine down on a flat table, is the fence parallel to the table top ?

If the fence is not the source of the problem, could you check:

a) check the cutter is straight, and
b) check if the cutter is rotating and oscillating in a parallel motion by sight?

Is Domino a new tool to you or do you have experience using one in the past with better results?

In first photo I see an area at top right corner where the cutter has created a scalloped divot consistent with the machine or stock moving during plunge motion.

You could make a test cut on some scrap with the fence firmly clamped to the stock. If cut is similar to your others then machine is issue. If cut is parallel to stock face then some more practice using the machine is in order.

Also make sure your fence is firmly clamped at your selected height.

Could this happen if the cutter is not tightened onto the Domino?

Could this happen if the cutter is not tightened onto the Domino?

It's possible but I would think very unlikely as it would be self tightening in use due to the rotation and forces generated.

This is definitely not normal. I suspect that the fence is not locked square. You could start by checking the height of the fence from the base at the left and right and see if they are the same. Try sliding the fence up and down with the fence perpendicular to the cutter, then lock it at any height. Then fold down the fence so it's parallel with the cutter and try another cut and let us know what you get.

Do you have a local dealer who can help?
