Making the Domino Stationary

[RONWEN]

I agree! The CMS Module is one the of best examples for that!

For small work pieces it would certainly make sense to work the other way around. I would be interested in a solution for that, if it's small easy and fast to set up and maybe connectable to the MFT!

Sounds like just the project for RonWen and SENECAWOODWORKING!........Domitach, Domifix, Domiclamp..........! [smile]

For the right price sign me up blind!

It seems the Woodhaven product has this covered -- am I missing something?

Jesse,

Only my Kapex has it's own letterhead. It just seems to be the more social of my Festool tools.  [poke]

Honestly I like the idea of Domino being stationary for some work... just got to buy one first. [doh]

Cheers,
Steve

Just looking at the Woodhaven ad, the kit looks awkward and possibly not well made.  The "Biscuit master" is $120+ and the Domino adapter is $22 more, so one is down almost $150 for something that might not have the precision I am looking for. 

All I was asking for was a couple of screw holes in the base so I could securely fasten the Domino to a jig I would make out of scrap suited to the joinery task at hand.

And Steve -  [embarassed] [embarassed]

The problem would be locating the (two?) holes where everyone finds convenient for their home brewed setup.  The Domiplate is quite easily drilled (and tapped) if you decide to build something -- and please do share it.

Just buy a dedicated hollow chisel mortiser. 

Seems silly to make a portable power tool stationary.

Every router table, everywhere, scoffs at this! ;D

I don't think it's a question of portable vs stationary. I think it's a question of modular vs dedicated function. I've seen some amazing jig setups on that board that bolt the domino in place to make a variety of things. A chop saw is great portable equipment, but with production stops in a shop environment it's a completely different tool. Steve Jones' TS 55 work table is still one of my favorite work station ideas of all time, and I'm going to be using some of his ideas in future months to make something similar. The modularity of all of the available router accessories that are available from Festool is something that is jaw-dropping. And on, and on. Modularity adds versatility. That hollow chisel mortiser will never be able to make cabinets, or do most of the other things that I've seen the Domino used for.

Let the uber-stupid ugh-monkeys play with dedicated push-button workstations. I want to do more.

have you a link to that work table.

i agree about the stationary issue. you make some good points. it is more a question of adding uses and making some processes easier rather than not moving the domino
