Thread: Which Domino to keep

Initially the 700 is pretty daunting if you are used to the 500, but after the first couple of dominoes you don’t look back, do you? I have used my 700 so much that the cutters have lost their black coating and now look like chrome!

I have that Seneca adapter too and wonder why Festool don’t make one. Its very useful.

I have used the 700 a few times now,but having the Seneca adapter makes it more versatile as I still have a set of smaller cutters & domino tenons in a couple of systainers to work with.

Because everyone would then buy the 700 and adapter, not the 700 and 500?

Oh yeah! (Self head-slap).

To be fair, almost all of my work has been in the architectural size range* for a few years now, and the XL is a natural fit for me. The hefty size and stability is an added bonus when trying to use up my supply of Barbie** dominoes. The next most useful accessory I want is a custom 12 & 14 mm domino moulder cutter I am going to order. After using $1000 worth of dominos on one project I have lost my appetite for convenience

*not quite chain mortiser size, but getting there.

**My daughter’s name for anything under 10mm

Probably same reason why they don't produce a standard 4,5,or 6 cutter for the 700 hence Seneca filling the shortfall with the adapter ,I understand that seneca was looking at producing a 6mm cutter for the 700 from remilling a 14mm cutter.
