Why you want a Domino with round pins

[Michael Kellough]

Festool is changing from the round plunging locating pins to pivoting nylon tabs for legal reasons. I didn't think that was a big deal till I noticed these spacer diskss that are being offered on ebay.

Festool has something designed to solve the same problem but these potentially offer more precision, although in fixed imperial increments.

Now that looks interesting! Does anyone have worked with these things?

I haven't used this tool yet, so I'm not sure I follow.

Would someone please elaborate?

Thanks,
Erik

The retracting pins on the face of the Domino hook the edge of a board exactly 37mm from center of the mortise. The spacers allow you to (easily) cut mortises closer to the edge. That's the short version.
