Revised Domino 500

[jeffkutsch]

I would like to see the 500 redesigned with the same ergonomics as the 700XL. D-handle, triple locating paddles on the base etc.  I primarily use my 700 for 6mm dominos, but would consider buying a 500 if it were a "mini-700".

and how about a 6" #sq drive centrotec bit, AKA a Kreg bit?

I have thought the same thing.

The fence is the same as the 700. You can upgrade to the 700 fence for around 50$. Gives you the larger window, and the two square cut outs let you see the paddle's. Also the new fence sits all the way down at 45 degrees, so it puts the domino in higher at a forth five. And you can put on the cool sticker!

Sorry, I am confused. Are you saying I can buy a 500 with the option of a 700 fence? Or just getting a 700 fence from the parts website and making an "unofficial mod?"
