Using the fences and stops to locate Domino mortices.

Nice repeatable method!

Great idea...thanks for the pics. Would not have thought to put the stop flag in the side groove.  [thumbs up] [thumbs up] [thumbs up] [thumbs up]

Nice one Tom. I'd have never thought of that.

[member=4105]tjbnwi[/member] if I understand this correctly you use the domino pins for the end mortises, then the stop for the center?

So to make unhanded panels the center stop needs to be dead-on precise in the middle of the panel, offset for the width of the Domino itself. Is this correct?

Yes the pins for the end mortices.

The center mortice is laid out on the mortice center line. The picture with the board clamped to the MFT holding the Domino in place frees up the hands to get the stop set, you can see the pencil line. You can set up as many stops as you need for the panel.
