Finally an American that uses the superior measuring system. (American here)

Excellent video cutting through all the brain fades that comes with over thinking. One tip - certainly not mine but very useful - sand a few dominos of each size and colour with a marker pen; then use these slightly loose dominos for dry fits. It really prevents the problem of trying to remove tight fitting dominos in order to glue up

One of the most helpful tutorials I’ve seen on the use of the domino. Thanks!

When I first watched you using M.M. measurements I thought WHY??? I just finished a cabinet using imperial and I found myself having a tough time reading the tape and figuring out half the measurements. I believe I'm going to give the M.M. a try on my next project. Fingers crossed! Great videos! Please keep up the good work!

Hi Jason thank you for your videos, I am a bit puzzled here I saw that the divider was off the centre, dont you have to back it up half way of the panel thickness in order to hit the centre mark? Thank you

Perfect demonstration mate. No fucking around, straight to the point 👍🏻

Thank you pal

Hello Jason- using the word subtract at the one twenty minute mark might help many- cheers

That was a very clear explanation of how to add the divider. I was doing it a bit different but see that your method is simpler, easier and more straight forward. Keep up the good work!

A well laid out video. I have owned the Domino for almost 14 years and have learned a few things early on. Mine is the one with the steel dowels for indexing reference. I noticed early on that the cutter was not cutting centered between the indexing pins/stops on the Domino. There is an adjustment for this but with the old style steel dowels this was a very bothersome step. I sent the Domino back to Festool to have the cutter recalibrated. The Festool rep called be befor returning my Domino and explained to me that these cutters are set centered at the factory but they do go back out of calibration hence the adjustable indexing pins/stops. His advice to me was to not cut the same sized mating mortices. Use exact fit on one side and the elongated mortice for the mating side. If cutting tight fit mortises on both sides of the joint and the mortises are not are not perfectly centered between the indexing pins, your fit will be difficult.
I have used nearly 8, 000 5mm Domino tenons, 15, 000 plus mortises. Using the technique that Festool recomended has been fool proof and pretty much eleminates small acumilated errors, especially when placing 5~12 mortises in a joint. FWIW we all hope that our Domino's are perfect and will remain aligned. But Festool let's "us" make adjustments as needed as the cutter begins to cut off center between the stops. But that is a step that is unnessary if you simply do not depend on the stops to be a part of the process. I very seldom use the stops for any placement. 99% of the time I place marks with a pencil for the mortise locations and that works just fine. Food for thought.

Art Mulder just did the same joint with dowels using dowel max. You guys are in synch.

finally some clear explanation AND clear pointing out of the confusion zone! thank you! ((no such clear demo in French ))

Best video over. Thanks so much. Now I need to buy a domino.

Great video, Jason! Your explanation is clear, and very concise!
A dividing panel is about the only situation that you do NOT reference a centerline with the domino. It's the exception to the rule. If your reference is to the left, lay your panel on the left. If your reference is to the right, lay the panel to the right. While we at RAB Tools have a few different options to help with aligning your domino in different situations, I think people get confused because of the centerline rule with Festool products.

Thank you! This is something that seems easy in theory but is easy to mess up. It almost reminds me of the "off by one" problem in computer programming.
