I don't even own a domino, but yet, I feel like this is something I needed to know. :)

I'm saving this video for future Andrew to remember. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

Thanks for producing wonderful straightforward videos that are helping me be a better woodworker... even after 60 years of being in the shop. 😁

at 2:38 you can see it pop back a little once it's released. If you want it to be a shade more precise, keep the pressure on, tighten it, and then release the pressure.

Sequence is everything! Helpful instruction. Thanks

[crashkg]

You saved my butt with this video. I was just about to make this mistake. Thanks

Had to grab my domino to confirm as I never knew the fence went down that low. Thank you very much!

[groundeffect]

Lol, I went down to the workshop tonight to do this exact thing with my Domino, and in the back of my mind I was thinking "didn't I watch a youtube video about this?". Went straight through the other side of a workpiece I'd already put several hours into.

Came back upstairs, watched this video again, slapped myself in the forehead and went back down.

Excellent tip Jason! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to answer this question. Now I’ll just send them this video 😀

I have done a LOT of miter joints with mine, the only difference is I’ve never used the domino on my plywood boxes normally just glue will hold. But now I know what to do when I eventually use it for plywood.

I have an abundance of 8mm dominos. I have used lots of them in similar setups. I also sometimes put a piece of 1/10" acrylic sheet on the base to move the cutter even closer to the inside corner. Works a charm. Thanks for the video.

[tcbridges]

Thanks for the right way to do these. I as having that problem once in a while. Keep them coming.

I've recently discovered your channel and enjoy very much your concise way of reviewing tools and sharing your knowledge. Your military background has definitely influenced your attention to detail, teaching style, and no BS approach to explaining things. Well done as always and please keep producing this great content. -30 year woodworker

Easy yet extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing Jason.

I’m fairly new to the domino. This was really informative seeing I had the same issue. I was building drawers and didn’t understand why that was happening. I used it as a Design eliminate but for future projects at least now I know why. Thanks a ton and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

[Axmaxify]

Jason, really great video. I remember that other people explained the order as well but you have explained it in a way I will never forget because you have shown the reason why it is necessary. Really great! Thanks so much! Please go ahead and do some more of such awesome videos.

[NGinuity]

I'm glad I researched this and came upon your video. I'm about to plunge into some mitered red oak trimming out a table and knew there was more to it.

[evancohn]

Thanks so much! Probably saved a bunch or people’s projects.

[Simon.in.Ireland]

Oh man, that's so useful. I just tried a new domino on a 45. and was cursing when it broke through. Thanks for sharing Jason 👍

[markisom]

That's something I never knew and I did run into that problem before. I just thought my machine was a lemon off the production line and would always have to compensate for it. Thankyou very much for the tip.
