Thread: Dominos

Ron that is a great idea. Maybe their could be scope here for us to swap packs. It would be interesting to get Anthonys oppinion on this.

And by the way Ron, welcome to the club Keep poping in and show us your Domi stuff

Hi Ron and Lignum,

What an excellent idea!

Here you go:

• Single bags of all domino sizes available.
• Set comprising one bag of each size domino.

You can find them at http://www.idealtools.com.au/category3919_1.htm

Hi Anthony!

Thanks for that! You may have just enticed a new customer - when my virgin (virgin and Domino - do those two terms go together?) runs low.

Cheers!

Yep, ill grab some 8 x 40`s they are my new fav

Steve,

Easy to do. It's really a good idea especially as we're all working out our own personal domino processes and favourite domino sizes, its less risky to buy in smaller numbers - less chance of having a large stock of dominos in a size you rarely use.

Now - as for all this talk of virgins, leather, rubbing in oil etc...... I am starting to think the DOMINO would make an excellent a hire tool... maybe by the hour or half hour.

Anthony
Are you soliciting business?

Hire out a Domi, to just anyone?

I say. That is not cricket and will open the DAC to riff raff and the like.

Oh Pat - Big velvet hat, long leopard skin coat and a gold tooth would not really suit me.

Ah! but Pat, have you seen the hourly rate? Definitely no riff raff at those rates There's also the "Examination" :eek:

I grabbed a spare single pack of each size at the Perth WW show @ $22 ea.
so there is no necessity to buy singular sizes in large packs.

Cheers

Bon Matin everyone,

With regard to the multi racial dominos. Archer (Carbatec), Carbitool and (I think) CMT produce a 1/2" shank bit called a "Double Edge Radius bit", (or similar) which allows two edges of stock to be rounded simultaneously, at different stock depths, by using a variable number of washers between the two cutters. You can see what I mean on p25 (Top RHC) of the Carbitool cattledog. Since in some cases, it would be better to produce dominos from the same stock as the main project for colour and grain match and sisnce you could probably get a clean finish and also adjust the Domi length to exactly what you need, could this be an alternative?

Just a thought,

Rob

Rob,

The double-edged radius bit is actually on p. 22 of the Carbitool catalog; but the only radius available is 5 mm, so it would be OK for rounding over 10 mm stock, but not for smaller sizes.

Hi Rocker,

In my catalogue, (green cover with a forest on it), its on p25, next to the batten mould bit and above the table edge bit.
In any case, it was only a thought.

Regards,

Rob

Flowboy,

It seems we were looking at different catalogs; I was referring to the online one.

I managed to produce some reasonably accurate floating tenon stock from jarrah for the 5 and 6 mm sizes by using 1/8" radius roundover and beading bits. It turned out to be not all that hard, once you get the settings right on the thicknesser and router table.
