Joining 1/2 plywood with the domino joiner 500

[Thirdeyecreations]

I have the domino joiner 500 and I'm trying to join two pieces of 1/2 plywood cut at a 45 degree mitre. I'm using a 4mm cutter with the 4mm X 20mm tenon. Does anyone have a good setup so I won't keep plunging through my material. I have the angle set at 45 the height set to 0 and the plunge depth to 20(any shorter and the tenon sticks out too much. ) Any ideas?

Shorten the domino and use the shorter cut depth.

You can use pvc pipe to shoten the plunge depth. Look in the supplementle manual I believe Rick actually gives the cut lengths for given depths.

I don't use the depth stops at all. I just set the depth I want by eye, as I would with a drill press, and tighten the knob. More that enough resistance to over-feeding.

I had this same issue last week, however minus the 45. I simply ended up cutting a 1/4" off the domino. After that, perfecto!!!!!!

How do you disengage the depth stop setting on the DF500?

I think you are talking about the stepped block for setting the height of the fence. TS is talking about plunge depth. (No knobs to turn there)
