I have searched the multiple forums without success for one of the Supp Mnuals  by Mssrs. Burrell or Kristofferson incl. Matt Schenker's 5 year old temp album etc....  

1. I am looking for a Domino manual on the tool, particularly succinctly dealing with use of small Dominos in the ends of small stock under 1" - 1 1/2" in stock size as used for slats and chair stretchers, and discussing setting the height of the cut from the bottom plane such as centering in the edge of 1/2" or 3/4" plywood.

2. If someone could direct me to comparisons of Domino work with the Leigh Super FMT it would be appreciated. Note that this is the Leigh current stamped steel tool, not to be confused with the original machined Aluminum FMT as discussed in a 2007 thread.

TIA

Here's the supplemental manual by Rick. It's on the Domino product page on our website.

Thank you, your link took me right to it and it is excellent needless to say.

I had gone to Products/Support/knowledge base/select prod, and could only get a reply 'We will post the supplementary Domino manual on the Festool USA website when it becomes available."

I welcome any members' comments on my second related question, and should have added e.g., dealing with mortises larger than 10 mm, such as 1/2" x 2" or longer, etc.
 
I rarely read manuals unless I find them interesting or necessary -(an emphasis on both with all the Leigh products I've purchased)
Manuals Provided by Festo are typically a waste of paper. Personally, I don't have a big problem with that- as I prefer the age-old process of *on the job training*, ---logic being a key factor.
My last run of chair stretchers was 80+ not counting spares, all done with an original Festool Domino machine. I don't own any of the newer Leigh budget models.
I now defer to the international language of pictures:
 
Woodwreck, even though Shane already gave you a link, I'll state this for others that may be searching and come across this.

For convenience, I have placed all of the documents I have created for Festool in one location on my server. Each listing is preceded by the tool's icon for quick scanning. All of the manuals have the standard internet resolution, but some of them also have a 300dpi print version too (larger file size).

Thank you Rick, a consolidated listing is what I had been searching for among your and others' pubs. I have bookmarked it.

Can I give you a prod to at least release as a "work in progress" the MFK700  [poke] [poke] [dead horse]
