SIPO assortment?

[mkhoch]

Does anyone know if Festool offers an assortment of SIPO tenons?  I don't need hundreds of one size and would like to have a few in different sizes.

Thanks,
Mark

Mark,
[welcome] to the FOG!  Festool did at one time offer an assortment (part number M0076).

It contained 20 to 40 dominoes in each of 5 different sizes.  You might want to check with your favorite dealer to see if they still have any.

Mark,

Welcome to the forum. We offer a promotional assortment of SIPO tenons a couple of years ago, Product #M0076. An internet search may yield some results with dealers that still have them in stock.

Currently, there is no assortment available.

Dang it, Peter. You just beat me to responding...  [tongue]

and I even had to climb in the back of the truck to find mine .... [big grin]

 

[mkhoch]

Thank you.  I'll look and see if I can find them.

And thanks for such a quick response!

I went looking on several websites and found that some dealers still have them.  Go to your favorite search engine and type Festool m0076 in the search box.

Good find, Peter.  I need a few SIPOS for a small project.  THis assortment will be perfect. Hopefully, Tom has some left.

Did a web search without luck.  I see tool-home.com has them.  Buying from them is blocked at work (not sure why) so I'll order them later.

Thanks again!

I have one assortment left.

Tom

 

[Rob Z]

Mark, you asked about it first, so if you still need them from Tom, go ahead and order them.

If not, Tom, please save them for my next order.  Thanks.

 

[tbellemare]

They're gone!

I do see at least two other online dealers that show these on their websites. Again, just a quick web search should help you find them.

I should note these were a promo in 2008. So, I suspect inventory is very, very limited amongst dealers who still have them.

 

[mkhoch]

Ok, it seems like these are harder to come by that I would have hoped.  Woud any of you please list where you found them?

Tom - were you saying you already sold them?  If not I will place the order when I get home.  I cannot do it from my computer at work.

 

[tbellemare]

A couple minutes after I said I had one left it sold.

'Sorry...

Tom

 

[mkhoch]

Ok, thanks anyway.  Appreciate you note.

Maybe one of you can recommend the best size to buy?  I just bought the Domino, haven't even used it yet.  I'm most likely going to be joining 3/4" boards together of varying widths and in most cases end grain to face.

 

[tbellemare]

For 3/4" joins, you should use 6mm. The rule of thumb is 1/3 for the Dominio.

Tom

 

[Timtool]

agreed, 1/3rd rule for domino's and tenons in general.

i do think you will be surprised at how fast the domino's go out, i bought a box of 100, 8x50 dominos 2 weeks ago along with my domino tool, thinking those should last a while.
but now two weeks, and two furniture pieces later the box is practically empty!

if you only need a small number, it is always possible to make your own, given that you own a planer and a router table.

I have a SIPO assortment that my dealer made up for me that, unlike the M0076 set, includes the Domino Systainer.  Let me know if you are interested.

 

[mkhoch]

I am interested.  Can you send me some details?  # of dominos, systainer size, what you are asking?
