    Default Another use for Dominos

    I guess others have already thought of this, but anyway.
    Dominoes as buttons for holding down a table top. I use the 8mm cutter to dig 12mm deep mortises at a depth of 10mm (cutter height set to 20mm), then use 6mm dominoes for the buttons. Takes minutes!

    Regards,

    Rob

    Good idea! Is 2mm enough for expansion and contraction?

    Great idea, hadn't thought of that one before.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    Hi Andy,

    Seems to be OK, but if you are worried, use the 10mm cutter for the mortise and a 6mm or even a 5mm domino for the button.

    Regards,

    Good idea.
