Thread: CMT cutters for the Domino

Wow, I didn't know they had some competition. Now if only someone would make Centrotec accessories

Thanks for the link Rob

Unfortunately, there is a catch - when I clicked to get the price of the 3 cutters bundled together it said that they can currently only be shipped to the US.

Hi Ron,

It may be worth asking Carbatec if they can get them.

Never used them but it might be worth a try http://www.priceusa.com.au/

There is a discussion about the CMT cutters on the US Festool Owners Group: http://festoolownersgroup.com/index.php?topic=6303.0. Although none of the people participating have used them as yet, one has ordered them and promises to post a review sson. I think I will wait to read the results before proceeding further. But thanks Joez for the Price USA link - it does look promising, and not just for CMT cutters.

Been hunting for these since exchange rate is good. Found that CMT now does the 4mm bit too. A TalkFestoolian mentioned Holbren. (TalkFestool tolerates non-festool discussions, unlike the other festool group, which is why people defected.)
Search results :: Holbren

Got a full set shipped ($14 post) for US$107.85 = $109.78 via Paypal. Here I couldn't get 2 bits for that price.

Holbren doesn't do international shipping via web form, just email them. They accept payment by paypal. Excellent service, happy to buy there again.

The CMT bits are different, which gets around the patent issue. Different flute design, different tip design, just fits on domino and cuts same size holes. Haven't used them in anger yet.

PS
noticed there is some variability in dimensions - trying to clarify it that is within manufacturing specifications for CMT

CMT 4mm 4x37.85mm
CMT 5mm 5x49.2
CMT 6mm 6x49.2
CMT 8mm 8x48.3
CMT 10mm 9.7x49.3

Let us know how you go with the cutters.

Does that slightly smaller cut with the 10mm make the domino's too tight?

Not planning to use dominos. Planning to make my own, so matters not so much to me. Still nobody has yet measured their domino cutters.

OnlineToolReviews.com - Festool Domino Review

The above review by Bill Esposito gives a little insight into the Domino Cutters
with his comment that his cutters averaged 48.75mm.

Didnt give the individual size though.

Cheers
