Thread: Domino coming to the US

Hi Rocker, I think you're right about the whole deal. In addition, they seem to like arguing for the sake of it. (not at all like me )

Cheers,

Rob

The rules are clearly laid out in the difficult to find "Terms of Service".

I occasionally get caught out and post under someone's post.... much prefer the way this forum works.

I think it is interesting that there is so much debate on that forum .... much like the carry on that went on on this forum over the Domino as well. Festool Domino..... controversy included free in each systainer!

And as for Apart from Flowboy and a few from Rocker whos posts are both terrific on the Domi, their hasnt been many others of late, so its not only me whos stopped. Their is hardly any posts from you either on Domi related practices latley


Maybe you Domi lot are also sick of the Anti Festo/Domi Brigade constantly having their dig and trying to shoot us down. Suppose wee`l all have to pull our fingers out wont we and get back to talkin Domi

1.True, but sharing is still ok, even if there is no multitude.
2.True - only because christmas got in the way!
3.Indeed!

Just to show im still up for sharing A little tip... When your setting the centering jig, disconnect the main body from the head. Sounds trivial, but gee it makes the task at hand heaps quicker and helps achieve better accuracy

Your generosity knows no bounds. But this is just the sort of thing that's needed. It's why I can be miles ahead when the little devil finally arrives.

Lignum is the man. Just last Saturday when performing some tests with my newly acquired Domi I could have used this tip.
Great stuff Lignum. Maybe one day I will get to your level of expertise.

Lignum,

I use a different approach. I set the jaws of the narrow-frame accessory (PTM tells me that this is its official name now) before attaching the accessory to the Domino's fence plate, as follows: I place the rail, in whose end-grain the mortice is to be routed, on the bench; I loosen both green knobs on the accessory, and place the accessory right-way-up on top of the rail. I then close the jaws tight against the edge faces of the rail, ensuring that the readings on each of the hard-to-see scales are equal to one another. I then tighten the green locking knobs and attach the accessory to the Domino fence.

Rocker. The first few times i was doing it that way but couldnt get the accuracy spot on. The side hard to read scale is to hard for me If i was plunging both ends of a rail and the rail is flipped around, even if its out .25mm thats .5mm all up. Im happier to use both the center mark and the side scale marks on the see through plastic. Doing it this way when i use the digital verniers i can get it just about perfect

Uhuh uhuh-

Well done Rocker you got another tip out of him - must write that down "digital verniers"

Is the Dominio going to be hard to get in Oz once the USA market comes online??

Nah. Different animal - the American one is 110 volts, so they are not interchangeable. I suppose, though that, if they have a stronger than anticipated demand there, they may stop producing the 240 volt ones for a time. But all the more reason to order before April
