I am now taking orders for the new model Self Centering Guide (SCG-10) for the Festool Domino® Joiner. Orders can be placed at this link: Tenon Joiner Guide Stops. The original Multi-position Guide Stop (MGS-20 & MGS-30) is geared toward having multiple stop positions for repeated work. The Self Centering Guide is geared toward being able to quickly reset to a new set of stop positions.
I am still working on the descriptive content of the website, but the ordering pages are complete. (For dealers, the dealer ordering page is also complete. Send me an email if you need access.)
So far there has been a lot of interest in this model guide. If you missed it, some of the earlier discussions can be read at the FOG Here.
The operation is pretty simple. As with the MGS guides, the SCG-10 mounts directly to your Domino machine using the pre-existing mounting holes in the base. To ensure the guide is always centered on your Domino, a pair of centering plates capture the sides of your Domino. (The centering plates control the position, and the thumbscrews hold it in place.)
To set the stop positions, loosen the two black thumbscrews, slide the stops to the desired position, and then re-tighten the thumbscrews. The two stops are cable-slaved together to remain centered about the Domino mortising location. When you move one stop, the other stop moves in the opposite direction to always stay centered.
The baseplate is black powder coated for durability. All of the aluminum components are precisely machined from billet aluminum, and anodized (green) for a hardened, wear-resistant surface and for a beautiful appearance. The slaving cable is steel wirerope (cable) with an outer protective coating for durability.
