Every once in a while I have to install a lock on a cabinet door, so I bust out the domino for a quicker, more professional install.

I like it, too!

I just don't like your avatar when I'm hungry... have to go into hunter-mode now...  [tongue]

Paul,  you should smell it!  Soooo good.  I need to call my friend and tell him to get going on the next paella, its perfect weather for it down here.

As you've discovered and Paul Marcel points out often the Domino(s) are very versatile for any number of little jobs, not just mortises for floating tenons.  Very handy time savers indeed!

EDIT:  It could be our imaginations but it seems like we really can smell your avatar.  [tongue]
 
That's a cool little trick Jon!  If I ever run into a need for a lock like that!  I'll be schnazzy like that!!

I have done something similar to that.I mortise the side of the stile with my domino.Worked out great.
 
Jon:
Nice idea. Thanks.
And the pizza looks great.
Every time I see it I think I gotta try one on the BBQ.
I really need to make a nice breakfast pizza soon.

It's also perfect for registering recesses for Z-clip table top fasteners:

I've done that one also -- it makes a very neat installation.

Using the Domiplate, I'm sure!  [big grin].

What a great tool (and jig).

Actually no. I figured out how to do it long before I bought Ron's Domiplate.

I set the fence height at 28 mm.

I wrote down my setting on a piece of tape, and stuck it to the inside of the Domino systainer lid.

[wink]

Edit to add: I checked my setting, after originally recalling perhaps 20 mm, but it was actually 28 mm.

I edited the post to reflect the correct setting.

(Realize that the 28 mm setting refers to nominal stock width, so the actual dimension to the center of the slot is 14 mm from the top edge.)

Hope that helps.
