Actually, there is even better. It is called the Internet Archive.https://web.archive.org/web/20121203082234/http://blog.festoolusa.com/post/2012/06/28/The-Ultimate-Festool-Domino-Guide.aspx

Dear all, a newbie here so I hope this is the right place to post.

Just bought the Domino 500 and keen to use it. I need to build a handrail for some garden steps for raging parents. Will be about 2m long and 3x3 posts will join with 2 2x3 rails. Do you think dominos could be used for this to give a strong enough joint / structure once the posts are set in concrete? Many thanks!

A few 8mm sipo dominos per connection can give interesting amounts of strength, when using a fastener to keep the parts from being pulled apart.

I would suggest you join the whole thing before putting the posts into concrete and do the pour after everything is in place, makes it way easier.

Also I can only suggest to practice on scraps to get a feeling for the machine.
