Hey, I see you have changed the name of your product from the Domiplate to the Domplate.     [blink] [big grin] [unsure]

I must have missed the contest for the new name.   [tongue]

Corwin,  ??

Just kidding.  It has been corrected.

Well, when it comes to a vote, the i's will have it...   [tongue]

To explain, while moving the thread, it was renamed "Domplate Order Thread" -- so, I couldn't resist...    [wink]

PS  Tim, I thought that your suggestion was the DummyPlate?    [unsure]

The official contest hasn't started yet.  Peter just wanted to enter early...  [big grin]

Now that you have announced an intent for a new contest, where are you going to to pst the details.  Foggers are interested.

ROCK ON RON!  [big grin]

Im stickin with DomPlate. [smile] I love a competition.  I can still design the logo of the winning name for you to machine into the plate if you'd like.  I'll do it free of charge.

New domino owner here. Plate and domino came in about the same time but I was late in ordering the extra hardware from Festool so started experimenting without it making test joins and boxes. The domino rocks, aligns all my joints beautifully. 

The domiplate is an awesome accessory. Those slots where the domino has to go vertical gave me some trouble and I could never really tell if everything was truly square. Once I slapped on the domiplate, it never came off  [big grin]. It really sped up the process as I didn't have to keep checking, double/triple checking to see if everything were flush before plunging.. I highly recommend this when he gets them back in stock.
 
I bought a Domiplate from Ron because I didn't trust my fence.
Too often the mortise was not parallel to the work surface and using
the Domiplate the potential error in the fence is by-passed.

Turned out even with the Domiplate the mortise was still not parallel
to the work surface so there is probably a problem with my machine.

Fortunately, since the Domiplate offers a nice flat surface for mounting
to the flat bottom of the machine I could shim between the Domiplate
and the machine and get perfectly parallel mortises after all.

Highly recommended!
 
Ron, I used plastic shim stock of .004" thickness which is held down with
3M clear packing tape so the total thickness is probably .005+.

I put a 12" rule on top of an installed domino and when the rule looked parallel
to the work shimming was done. I use color coded plastic shim stock from McMaster-Carr, item 9513K42.

April 18, 2011 -- I am restocked with a good supply so if you are interested please follow the ordering instructions at the beginning of this thread.  Thanks, Ron

Just a friendly bump boost.
 
Here are some pictures of the Domino/LR32 bracket.  The cross strap sets angles of 0, 15, 22.5, 30, 45, 60, 67.5, 75, 90 degrees.  I should have them available for ordering next week.

How do you know where you mortise is going to be located?  Are there known and repeatable offset distances for positioning/index the rig for each angle?   
 
WOW!  What an interesting and unexpected design, Ron.  Well done!  I am particularly glad to see that the Domino is in direct contact with the material being machined.  Sweet!    [thumbs up]
 
Will it have the same center as pin hole? It's crucial for using with 32 mm grid doors.

Thank you,

Tell me more about that.  What you want is to be able to put in a series of round pin holes then go back through with the Domino & add a shallower mortise (centered on the hole)?  What does that get used for?

Yes.  That's for Euro style cabinets. Let say tall cabinet has two or more doors (one over another one). I need to place shelf in place where doors meet together.  With present design I have to reposition rail too. It would be helpful to place domino mortise exactly over 5mm shelf pin hole.

Thank you,
VictorL

That's what I would have liked to see.  That way you could have used the stops on the end stops to index the rail.  I'm not use what you mean by "32 mm grid doors".

I mean door height should be H = 32mm * T
