Sedge I don't think I would own all the Festools I own if it wasn't for you. The manuals are junk like most tool manuals so your video's are my visual manuals, thank you guys for making these video's!!!

[@sedgetool]

Right on

[@SirLesMeyer]

@@sedgetool Guys like Jerry Work, Bill Esposito and Gary Katz did have some very useful documents in the earlier days of the Domino. Sedge took it to another level and put it on video which so many of us appreciate. Thank you so much.

[@lucvidon1740]

I Watch you from France. Thank you for your video. This gives the answer to the question I was asking myself

[@sedgetool]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SirLesMeyer]

I am always amazed at how well the design of the Domino DF500 is. No tape measure required.

[@sedgetool]

It is an AMAZING tool !!!

[@MattLitkeRacing]

That’s the best domino tip video I’ve ever seen 😜

[@sedgetool]

Wow, thanks! ;-)

[@tedrzz]

This center of the board issue happened to me the other day and I couldn't quite grasp exactly where that horizontal line was, this is EXACTLY what I needed to know. Thanks Sedge!

[@sedgetool]

Thanks and Thanks for watching

[@manfredgahr4748]

Yeppp! Have a Domino since years, but learned a lot watching this video. Greetings from France!

[@sedgetool]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks 🙏

[@dsdragoon]

The expanding the base to give it a bigger footprint is a new tip for me.

[@sedgetool]

cool...thanks for watching

[@pieces94]

Another great domino tip. I’ve had my domino for a few months now and am still finding/learning alignment tips. Thanks Sedge!

[@sedgetool]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jefflemay66]

Brilliant tip on sliding out the plate for more support on the plunge! Thanks for sharing! (Raymond, Maine will be watching Festool live soon 😁).

[@JameysVideos]

Please could you do a video showing how to align multiple 5x30 Dominos in the end of a strip with the middle of some MDF/Ply? EG if you had a 2x4 (CLS) and wanted to put four Dominos into the end and then make four matching holes in the middle of an MDF board?

[@sedgetool]

ok

[@skillit32]

That is really cool, thanks!

[@sedgetool]

You bet!

[@allanwilliams679]

Wow! That is spookily great timing Sedge. Having been using the domino for a few years now, I have never had occasion to use the vertical post fitting function. But coincidentally, I am about to get into a project where that would be super useful. Thank you once again for a very clear and useful explanation. Keep up the great work. 👍🏻

Very useful to spread the fence to make it a bigger footprint

[@sedgetool]

Absolutely! Hope you guys are doing well !!!

[@pmelchman]

@@sedgetool were doing great

[@edduncan99]

Sedge, what's the recommended way to do two dominos on smaller stock boxes, say 2.5" deep side walls. The alignment pins put the dominoes too far to one side or the other, but a smaller single domino allows too much twisting/racking. Thoughts?

[@sedgetool]

I would simply measure and mark and work off of center line....

[@jhkaplan]

Just picked up a Domino last week and this video (and all of your other videos) are the best instruction manual I could ask for. One question for you: when testing the vertical plunge demoed in this video, the domino tends to move/shake around right when I turn it on, taking it out of alignment. I didnt see this happen to you. Are you just applying a ton of pressure on the back plate to keep it in place, or am I just an unlucky beginner?

[@sedgetool]

I just put adequate pressure ....

[@jhkaplan]

Maybe I should hit the gym @@sedgetool

[@rhwooddesigns5937]

Sedge, I assume that the tips you gave in this video were for both the 500 and the XL?

[@sedgetool]

yep....offset on XL is 15mm

[@zaldyvar]

Saving for DF500, any future upgrade anytime soon before I jump in this year?

[@sedgetool]

not that I am aware of

[@jetsettergeorge2675]

Thank you

[@sedgetool]

You're welcome

[@MechmanGetrieb]

Nice!

[@sedgetool]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@michael.schuler]

Traditionally, corner joints, such as for cabinet doors, would include a haunch in addition to the main tenon. Most demonstrations of domino joinery seem to omit this feature. Why? Is the belief that modern adhesives make them unnecessary?

[@sedgetool]

yes....

[@handyByLeVere]

Never thought of buying a domino tool...but now....hmmmm...you and @bentswoodworking

[@sedgetool]

Thanks !!!!!

How make the DF tenon center on 18mm plywood

[@sedgetool]

set the scale on 9mm ... do not use gauge block

[@grumpywiseguy5992]

Great video. I have been struggling with this situation for a year or more. One question, how do you keep the spinning bit from moving the tool when it first hits the wood. This happens to me all the time, especially with the 5mm bit into plywood!! The machine moves just a little bit, which throws off the position of the mortice from the measured point. Thanks and stay safe.

[@sedgetool]

Good question! The only time I have experienced some slight movement is when I plunged too quick....I put some moderate pressure on the base also !! Thanks.......

[@grumpywiseguy5992]

@@sedgetool Thanks for the reply. This tells me I am doing something wrong. The interesting thing is that I don't have this problem with either the 4mm,6mm, or 8mm bits in plywood. MDF, I have no issues whatsoever. And yes, dominos work just fine in MDF for carcasses. The other usage I have for doiminos is for locking down the location of a piece of wood on a panel. The narrow setting and the pins provide pinpoint accurate placement that I cannot otherwise accomplish with my skill level in joinery. The domino system makes up for my beginning level of experience in woodworking!!

[@Wulffz]

Why is it you often don't do close ups of the work you do? In the end of the video you make the hole for the domino, but you do not shown that it was actually in the center of the lines. You quickly attach the leg with the domino and say good bye. Please show the precision of your work. Don't glance over it.

[@sedgetool]

Thanks Peter ...will do ....
