After waiting too long for a solution to using the Domino with the LR32 system I came up with my own version of an adaptor setup that allows the Domino to be used with the LR32 plate and holy rail! The nice thing about my design is that it can be fabricated with minimal tools and basic skills that I know from being on this forum most people here have an abundance of. Did I mention it can be built for maybe $10.00 worth of materials. Now onto the dirty pictures!

Picture of the first thing I tried the Tomiplate on. The only marking I did was to place reference lines for the shelf centers. There were no other marks on any of the other pieces which is my goal. The idea is to use the precision of the LR32 system rather than rely on a bunch of marks which can build up inaccuracies depending on how many there are. I used twenty four dominos and it went together on the first try with only moderate beating!

I lied, I did put some pieces of tape on the holy rail so I would not lose place as I plunged away.

No domino was harmed or modified in any way to implement the Tomiplate Setup.

Likewise for the LR32 plate. No drilling, milling or modifications done to the plate.
It takes about five minutes to put the Tomiplate together and calibrate the arms. Once the arms are calibrated i.e. squared up to the holy rail the aluminum fixing plate is attachedto the arms and then finally the Domino to the fixing bracket. Lastly the Domino is verified for tracking across the rail accurately and then is ready for use. After the five minute setup is done the Tomiplate is ready to save one time and provide accurate results. The marriage of the Domino and LR32 is complete!
