As somebody that has had a domino for the past couple of years, I have to say I'm really impressed by this little jig. There have been quite a few times I've wished I could cut custom width dominos or at heights that aren't on the domino's pre-set little step and it looks like it would be really easy to do with this and if you made a couple of jigs (see below) you would be able to make it a lot quicker to use. - To set the depth, make a piece of wood with a series of different depth holes in it. With the router off, simply plunge the bit into the desired depth hole, and then tighten the depth knob when it hits the bottom. - To set how high you want the cut to be on an edge, you could have a simple stepped packer that gets pushed in-between the red and silver pieces. Push the two together so they are tight on the packer, then tighten the knob.

Yeah, I agree totally. I love my dominos, (I use both) but yes, at times, I want to put in two tenons, at fairly far apart, (like 2+ inches along the same mark) and the fence doesn't allow for that. This would. Sure, the domino is so much faster to set up than this one, but for that money, it would be worth having this in addition.

I actually bought and own this! My gripes with this is the fence doesn’t tilt to 45 degrees, the depth and height stops are easily moved when locked down, and the 1st iteration had a (higher quality in my opinion) spring loaded linear guide rail/bearing. I reached out to the manufacturer as to what exactly got “upgraded” to warrant a higher price for the second model as to which they replied “we painted red”. Buyers beware, I still would recommend it though. Just wish they would’ve stayed with the linear guide rails than just two thin rods.

One thought I had while watching this was safety. One thing I like about the domino is it's spring loaded. So if something gets out of hand, the bit retracts back into the tool. That thing is just flopping around all willy nilly. For a tool that seems to be geared for the hobbyist, I feel like it should have some kind of guard on top and a spring to add some resistance. But otherwise if you're on a budget, rock on!

I have the original version of this. One modification I made was a thin piece of sheet metal to close up the opening a bit and allow you to get closer to the edges and provide more support. I have done over 100 mortises and occasionally will get a nasty kick back, I believe because of it moving on me. I find it works best to plunge a hole on the left and the right side and then make 3 passes across to finish it off. I also made a jig to clamp it to for standard 3/4 stock pieces. to make it a bit safer. It does work and is a great alternative until I get the real thing.

Your discussion of the tightness of the domino tenon brings up two thoughts. One I always felt the domino tenon might have been a little tight however they do have small channels to allow glue to escape without starving the tenon workpiece interface of glue, so Festool worked that out. Very smart. With the homemade tenon The thickness of those tenons can be adjusted on the table saw so fit should not be a problem. Without the escape grooves then perhaps a slight space for glue would be a better choice. Good video. Thanks.

You could see if a 3/16 router bit might give you a tighter fit and still work with 5mm dominos. 3/16in is 4.76mm. You might be able to squeeze a 5mm domino into a 4.76mm mortise. I might try something like this one day, but I think I might prefer to just use multiple dowels + a doweling jig instead of dominos. Regarding dust collection, I think you could probably make a dust shroud and port that might work with that jig that might work ok, although I'd have to watch the video again and pause the frame to think about the best way to make it for that particular tool.

Appreciate the heads up on the tool. It would seem a good-quality doweling jig would be cheaper, easier and, in the long run, more versatile and convenient. With the dominos, it either involves buying or making dominos, which are more expensive, in price or time, than standard off-the-shelf dowels. Like a doweling jig, this jig, although not shown here, could be used to reference off two faces to make sure pieces align along two axes. On the other hand, once you move away from one plane far enough with this jig, you have to use reference marks like shown in the video, which means having to cut wider mortises to make sure you line things up without difficulty. However this leads to potential problems with accuracy at glue up. You could compress the joint with a clamp parallel and inline with the tenon no problem, but would not be able to assure that the pieces were staying aligned perpendicular to the tenon like a dowling jig.

I know they aren't quite as strong, but it seems like dowels are a whole lot less trouble. Just use more of them... A bit will not cut true to size if you change the cutting direction as done here. The bit deflects due to cutting forces as it engages the material, when you reverse the cutting direction there is little material to cut and the bit flexes back to it's unloaded (straight) position. That causes it to dig in on the side away from the cutting forces and makes a wider than the bit slot. This effect is less pronounced in woodworking than in metal, but a bit that is small diameter and sticking out a lot will have it happen still. Good review of the product, thanks.

Look, people have been waiting (smart people have been biscuitting) for the patent to come off the Domino, as it did on the biscuit joinner. If a person was willing to do the work to do the SUPERIOR floating tenon (zero size limitation), there have been tons of options all along. Notably, plunge routers (mount the piece on the apron of your bench); Tenon attachments on stuff like saws, I am talking about the horizontal units that came on things like Inca table saws, or stand alone machines; Horizontal drills, a-la-Krenov; or horizontal milling machines. You can almost buy a plunge router for what that jig costs. Or a person could just cut joints that are superior to all these kludges, though stronger than strong enough is no biggie.

This totally awesome. Festool you pay for the engineering and well thought out product I get it but for me this is the answer for loose tenons.

Nice product. I thought I’d have to wait for the festool patent to expire

Great review. Looking to get one of these, since I already have the DeWalt router. I saw your link for a 5mm bit (1/4 shank), but can't seem to find them for 6, 8 or 10, except the dedicated Domino cutters. With regards to making your own loosed tenons, you are probably better off, as a TINY error in manufacturing can make enough difference in bit cut diameter.

I bought it awhile ago, it was not working properly for me, the mortises were not parallel to the reference surface, they were super nice and refunded me immediately. It is very well built but I guess one of the linear rails got damaged in shipping.

So if you can’t do face mortising, you can’t use it for case assembly? Or you could do case corners, but not in-field shelves away from the edge? I wonder if there’s any way to jury-rig an angle…

I have bought e500 Dewalt biscuit jointer but returned it. Joints were too loose. Also just returned e50 doweling jig. Joints were not precise at all. I'm only woodworking hobiest not making money from it so spending e1000 on festool domino 500 is a lot but I don't see any other option when I want joints to be precise.

I went thru same search and landed on Dowelmax jig. It is super accurate and quick. I think it beats this jig.

Jessem has something similar that’s on pre order right now, delivery is supposed to be at the end of January. It’s not as inexpensive as this but still a lot less than the OG.

I have a domino but I could see this as a good alternative to buying the XL as well.

you might find a variable router jig from Woodpeckers to be a better solution and more uses.

I saw when you were cutting that the holes were slightly slanted. When you make the adjustment for the center of the plywood is there a lock on both sides? If not if they put a lock on both sides could help correct that. Sweet tool, I've been looking for something that does the floating tenon but doesn't cost too much. Thanks for your content

This looks great for quickly hogging out regular mortises. Then I would only need a corner chisel to square up the corners.

4:35 - Not only not in the exact center, it's also askew. While this might get the job done... Festool Dominos are really, really precise & repeatable tools - to within a few thousandths of an inch. It's hard to get that level of precision when you're just holding this jig down by hand and swinging the whole router mass side to side. Regardless, always nice to see alternatives to the (prohibitively expensive) Domino.

You already have the spacer you wanted. For a 3/4 thickness, half is 3/8 so grab a 3/8 drill bit for use as your spacer.

It appears that it will need some adaption to work with a Bosch Colt or might not work at all.They sell 65 or 69mm mounts but the Bosh Colt is 71mm.

I'm going to wait until someone rips this design off and it's on Amazon for $50 lol. But, what an awesome product?! Floating tenon joinery is great and Festool has made it very popular, not every woodworker can drop $1500 though. Thanks for showing the world this really innovative jig! Looking at eBay, you helped him sell 29 units since posting your video... You should hit them up for some commission bro.
