Jig to cut dominos in narrow battens

[fanton]

Hi,

Fixing and creating sufficient surface for the Domino router can become a real nuisance with smaller and/or narrow workpieces like frame battens. I built a simple jig from MDF and plywood scraps which helps enormously and allows perfect repeat cuts. It works much like a bench hook to give stable resistance in the direction of the cut (side and end grain) and it is adjustable to create a platform for the base plate of the Domino router at exactly the same level as the workpiece.
If you're interested, have a look at http://www.tg29.at/Festool_Jig/

Great job Fritz.  I've struggled in the past to keep the domino balanced in some those situations and still maintain the integrity of the cut.  I guess I found what I'll be doing this afternoon

Fritz,

Thanks for sharing, and for preparing and posting the detailed engineering drawings and photographs!
