Bevel in the Middle

[@Madhava-das]

Hi Sedge, I'm about to start a project where I will have a whole lot of bevels on a flat connection and this video is absolutely perfect for me (a new owner of a 500!). Thank you. However, I'm a little foggy on the math with the 4mm offset... I watched a couple of time, but am trying to figure out how I can apply the right thinking to my project where I will have various angles intersecting a straight piece.... Would love to see a Festool Live dedicated to this subject, or another one here showing different angles/applications. But I think if I keep watching this over and over I may get it. Thank you for inspiring me to get the 500!!! - Mike

[@sedgetool]

I am working on a new angle video for the angles

[@Jhursh]

@ 4:19 you say the domino 500 is 15mm, did you mean domino 700?

[@sedgetool]

Yep...15mm for the Domino 700 ..Thanks Jim

[@Wyman642]

Thanks. New Domino 500 user. I knew the distance from base to bit center is 10mm but I didn’t know the distance is 6mm from the bottomed-out plate to bit center. Thanks.

[@sedgetool]

Cool...Thanks for watching

Glad to Help !!!

[@sedgetool]

Thanks 👍

[@Marcus_Caius]

Great info as usual..... You play with fire man "tight settings" 🤣

[@sedgetool]

🤙...Thanks.....

[@jenenissen7866]

Just getting in to my new Domino. One technique I haven’t found yet is to join a bevel to the edge of a board instead of the middle as shown here. Do you have a video of that? Thanks.

[@sedgetool]

Great idea!

[@LavinWoodworks]

Hey Sedge got a question for you. I set my fence to 78 degree for a project then bottom it out. I notice there is a small gap and it’s not metal on metal. I’ve tried multiple times making sure I adjust angle first then bottom out but there is a gap.

[@sedgetool]

a very small gap is OK

[@JameysVideos]

4:15 can I just check that you meant to say 700 here? It’s 10 mil for the 500 and 15 for the 700, isn’t it?

[@sedgetool]

yep 1mm for 500 and 15mm for 700

[@joey1071]

omg thank you so much i have been trying to make a phone stand and it has been driving me crazy

[@sedgetool]

no worries...Glad it helped

[@neilpiper2807]

Hi sedge. Great video. Can I ask when using thicker material say 30mm and the sides are not parallel with each other like legs into a live edge top. How do we go about that. Still bevelled at 5 degrees.

[@sedgetool]

scribe where you want the domino placed and use the cenetrline to line up from the short point..

[@neilpiper2807]

@@sedgetool thanks Sedge much appreciated. Your you tube vids are awesome by the way. Well executed & full of useful tips.

[@Tankengine2]

Cool! But when would I need such a joint?

[@sedgetool]

Hmmmmmmm.... furniture making

[@ronh9384]

Great information as always guys. I have a question for you Sedge. Regarding the DF500… Which do you like better… the pin style base or the current paddle style base? And do you have a video on adjusting the pin style base? Thanks Sedge. Ron

[@sedgetool]

I prefer the paddle style base ... I used the pin style for about 2 years and ran into a few situations where it was crushing into the long points of miters ..there is no way to lock them back..... I do not have a video yet on how to adjust them

[@daviddiannapugh]

Great job Sedge. I was a little puzzled how you got to a 4mm offset.

[@sedgetool]

Thanks David.... It can be somewhat puzzling... I have to review every time I set up an angle like this ....

[@deadlyfloof6311]

Because when he cut the bevelled piece at 22.5 degrees, it changes the overall thickness of the ply that is making contact with the fast piece. In this case it it brings the bevelled edge to 22mm, up from 18mm, so that's a 4mm difference. So he's moved plunge line back 4mm to ensure the domino's remain centered and the bevelled piece is exactly where it needs to be.

[@daviddiannapugh]

@@deadlyfloof6311 Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question. I do appreciate that.

[@larrycurran7005]

Excellent presentation! You just keep making the Domino more and more useful. I love my 500. Use it for most all my jointing. Larry Curran Sun City West Arizona.

[@sedgetool]

Thanks Larry !!!!!!

[@stu71584]

Thanks Sedge! This was my question from a few months ago. I’m kicking off a project that will use this technique very soon.

[@sedgetool]

Fantastic! Glad you asked !!!!! made me remember how to do it !!!!

[@pctatc66]

oh man, I needed this 2 months ago when I was building a George Nelson Bench. The base was put together with 80degree angles! couldn't figure out how to get the domino in there and mate it up to its sibling properly . Ended up finger jointing it (same 80 degree angle) on the router table instead!

[@sedgetool]

cool...wish I had done this sooner .....Thanks for watching Dean !!!!

[@warrensmith2902]

That was cool. After you cut it and put it together, I got how the 6mm + 4mm offset equaled the 10mm to center from the base of the Domino 500. Great tip.

[@sedgetool]

Thanks Warren.......

[@simonpetermurrell]

Great video. Something tells me you love Festool ;) I have never seen so much Festool in my life. Amazing products!

[@sedgetool]

The best!

Great tips video! Sedge. I’ll have now have the knowledge to add the 4 mil mark.

[@sedgetool]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lucwillemsens1901]

Yeah i love the video😅

[@sedgetool]

wicked !!

[@fabian3265]

Another great tip, how about if you need a domino in the middle of the board? Any tips/tricks on that?

[@sedgetool]

[@maxbrap]

Great video. I work with a lot of perpendicular center panel made out of thinner material and have to offset 4-5mm on a regular basis. My method instead of taking the time to mark each offset is to use a square on the line and then use two 4 or 5mm dominoes as spacers to create the offset, clamp my shelf down and reference off the base

[@sedgetool]

Great tip!

hi Sedge were are you able to To purchase the carts that you have for your sustainers

[@sedgetool]

I have had them since 2007...they were discontinued a few years back.....

[@jgarehart89]

Hard to follow this video.

[@sedgetool]

OK

[@jgarehart89]

@@sedgetool Please don’t get me wrong-usually your videos are super helpful. A little more explanation with this technique for angles would be much appreciated.

Its interesting to see american using mm

[@sedgetool]

Thanks

[@WelshRabbit]

Lazar, Actually, a lot of us Americans, especially in furniture and cabinet-related work, prefer metric. In my case, for anything bigger than a yard-and-three inches, I tend to revert to imperial.

[@Shannon-v3r]

Do you need to bottom out second? Does it not matter which order. I know tutorial in a miter joint you bottom out first

[@sedgetool]

Set Miter first then bottom out...

[@taytumkrisartistry7141]

Gosh this is so close to what I need to figure out. I’m trying to figure out how to do a domino on a bevel at the end. Not the middle.making table legs .

[@sedgetool]

cool

[@lnvvnl]

just an another festool adv

[@sedgetool]

Whatever !!!!!

[@WelshRabbit]

As for me, I think Sedge is a national treasure. I greatly enjoy and benefit from watching his videos. For those of us who own (or want to own) the particular tool, Sedge's advice and demonstrations help us get more and/or better performance from it.

[@VSannikov63]

This method really works! Thanks
