What size Domino tenon for what sized wood?

[PeterK]

Ok rules of 1/3 apply mostly but ----
I am going to order some Sipo Dominos for an outdoor table project using all 1 1/2" thick lumber. I assume the 10mm Dominos are the way to go for that.
Is it worth ordering any 8mm Sipo Dominos and if so for what thickness lumber would they be preferred?
Just want to place a single order using the price break right now. Thanks
Pete

  I am doing the same thing but thought I would order 12 mm Sipos for my one and a half inch project. Now I'm guessing 10 mm would be better???

I just finished an outdoor table using similar lumber and I bought the 10mm sipo tenon stock for use with my domino 500. I doubled up the tenons on each leg and cross brace and everything is as solid as a rock.

Yes using the 500 so 10mm is the largest I can utilize.
8mm just seems like a weird size to use but I guess good for 1" stock.
Thanks.

Supplemental manual is quite helpful and a must read for any owner
Thanks for posting this link here, what a great manual, should come with every machine.
