Domino secrets NO ONE tells you…

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I almost didn’t watch thinking that I already knew how to do this. But I learned several tips. Glad I watched. Very helpful as always.

[@sedgetool]

Glad it was helpful!

That's a great tip~! I just bought my Domino this weekend, so I'll be hunting down as many videos like this one as I can find. More please~!! 😀 Thanks much~!

[@sedgetool]

[@MrGuardcaptain]

Please keep the videos coming Sedge. So helpful but important to note that those with the df700, the offset isnt 10mm... lost a board last week using this technique. Its not the same for both dominos

[@sedgetool]

the offset on the DF700 is 15mm..good point..will do a follow up video on this topic soon ....Thanks James .....

[@thenext9537]

Yea, the 700 is a heavy bastard. I like the 500, I don't own one, but I've used it. I figured the extra tenons are going to break at the glue joint. The glue can be stronger than the wood right, which has been proven too many times depending on if it's end grain or with grain.

[@R-1.]

Thanks for the tip! Sorry for being pedantic but when you divided the 400mm by 5 you forgot to allow for the stock thickness which results in the in the two end spaces being half a stock thickness bigger than the 3 middles ones. just thought I’d put it out there. Love the videos man, keep em coming !!

[@sedgetool]

Good point!

[@bowerscustomwoodworkingllc]

More great info! I finally got to play with a domino at the Festool Experience last weekend at OakTree Supply in Fort Wayne. I so look forward to adding this to my arsenal!

[@sedgetool]

Wicked cool !!!

[@thewoodshop69]

Got a question for you. When I put my domino jointer when it's on the middle setting the domino basically falls in the mortise. It's loose side to side but up and down as well. 🤔

[@sedgetool]

slow down on your plunge rate....

[@thewoodshop69]

@sedgetool will try that. Thanks

[@thetechnician832]

Can this jig work for larger stock say 45mm? Also i used your method 10mm offset for attaching rails to legs but not on end grain. But slots were off centre by about 1mm. Not sure if base to centre of cutter is exactly 10mm.

[@sedgetool]

22mm to 70mm in width ...here is a link to the specs amzn.to/4eEZgKd

[@wonkywoody]

Very good video. Interesting and useful!

[@sedgetool]

Thanks

[@Tilburger72]

Nice tip. Around 4:26 you do the first one. You mention the that the plunge height doesn’t need to be exactly in the middle but I don’t see why? Did you set the lunge height to half of the thickness of the stock (10) ?

[@sedgetool]

thanks... I use the gauge block set at 20 so I go exactly 10 mm from the plate .... there is no 18mm setting on the gauge block which is the thickness of my material....this will work because I always reference the face of my marked material.. I hope this makes sense...

[@imc4357]

What a great technique. Thanks for another fantastic tutorial.

[@moderntouchfurniture]

Sedge I always learn something with every one of your videos, thank you sir! If I may suggest, I'm not 100% sure, but I think if you add the tool attachment name in the KZbin Title and/or Description, for example: How to use the Festool Trim Stop or Cross Stop, than people can search those keywords when looking for a video on that attachment, and I think it would also help your KZbin ranking, just a thought, have a great one.

[@williamcooper5009]

Great video. Thanks, Sedge. The only issue I have had with my 500 is the plexiglass guide shifting and then my mortises don’t align perfectly. Any suggestions on that?

[@sedgetool]

i have never had an issue with the cursor if that is what you meant......... I never use the cursor if I am aligning a tight to tight mortise..I make one loose and the other side tight.....my eyes are not as good as they were ... hope this makes sense......

[@williamcooper5009]

@@sedgetool Thanks for reply. I like using the tight setting and I have found that if pencil marks are spot on, I can get joint perfectly aligned. But if cursor has shifted, the joint/lines shift. When I use the mark/line on underside of Domino by using after market adapter plate (blasphemy😄) or Festool’s plate it comes out perfect. So, the marking on tool is perfect. The marking on cursor is only perfect when it stays in place. I’ll try using reference points more when I can. I noticed you do it that way most of the time. I used to use a biscuit jointer. Perhaps I need to update my process……😝. Thanks again for all you do, Sedge. I’ll tune in to a Live episode soon.

[@mrstuartrobertson]

Sedge might be one for festool friday, but I've noticed online plastic covers for the side of the TS55 that blocks access to the blade screw release, claiming that it improves dust collection. Not sure if it's true or not ?
