Just got my Domino today! So excited. This was helpful.

Useful intro to most aspects of domino. One aspect that needs more coverage is cutting a mortise while using the sight line - i.e. not one of the "stops". I found it difficult to consistently center the mortise across the line marked in workpiece. So I am not sure if the machine cuts a consistently centered mortise or not. If this situation truly requires the enlarged mortise size, Festool should indicate that. Or perhaps it the sideways motion of the bit that can offset your mortise unless you can hold it like a rock.

I kept waiting for Michael Stipe to start singing an upbeat version of 'Losing My Religion'.

Ahhh Festool in I could go back to then. this music takes me back thatts for sure. company was better then

OK I stand corrected on a couple of items 1. The bit does seem to center perfectly, PROVIDED you use one of those corner index tabs. 2. In the brief "This Old House" video on the Domino 500, Festool does recommend using wider mortises when cutting to a pencil mark (i.e. not index tab). For best cutting to an index line, you need to clamp the workpiece securely. Easier said than done in some situations. ps - registering your tool for the warrantee is amazingly complicated - Festool even insists on an image of your original invoice

Sometime words go a long way with a video.

Anyone trying to figure out how to mount the Domino Jointer to a table for repeatable production use?

[steveisrome]

[krehbein]

I want the domino so bad, trying to justify the $1k cost.

[krehbein]

The music to me means I don’t have to watch some dude talking 80% of the time, cuts out the bs. Plus I didn’t listen to it, volume off.
