SetBuilder Posted May 20, 2017 Report Posted May 20, 2017 I have a bunch of boxes to make out of Baltic Birch plywood and they are to have no nails, staples or screws in them. So I have been using the Domino machine. Yesterday and today have been my first time using it. Very user friendly tool and the learning curve is not too bad. One question I have is is there a simpler may to add dominoes mid board? I'm kept making plunges on a line and figured out some reference points, but its kind of a pain doing it free hand with out a guide. Its working fine, but it seems there must be a simper way. Does my question make sense? Quote
ChrisK Posted May 20, 2017 Report Posted May 20, 2017 Makes sense to me bro, I just use a straight rule as a fence and remember once you get going straight the index pins make it a piece of cake. Quote

If you were building beds out of 8/4 it would be the better choice. But its also a lot larger and heavier too. I bought the 500 as it meets my needs better. The one SUPER cool thing about the 700 is they offer these connectors not available for the 500. https://www.festool.com/Products/Accessories/Pages/Detail.aspx?pid=201827&name=Connector-for-DOMINO-joining-machine-EV-32-Set Doing stuff mid board I just have been clamping my short track saw guide and using it as a fence for the domino. 1 Quote

ChrisK Posted May 21, 2017 Report Posted May 21, 2017 Yeah that's how o figured it out. The tool is pretty much idiot proof, that's why I like it so much! Quote
