I was deeply saddened to hear of Steve's passing.

I thoroughly enjoyed his many posts which reeked of experience and an inordinate willingness to offer help and advice.

Sincere condolences...

Hi Storm
Just saw your post re the OF1400. In the US the router is supplied with a guide bush adapter. This is a post I made a while back:


"For any Leigh jig owners who want to use the Leigh...

May I suggest that this thread returns to the light hearted but very informative banter that has made the forum such a pleasure to read and participate in?

I fear that the tone and the "I said,...

Elementary my Dear Watson, two possibilities.

Rob

What an excellent idea and how sad that the response has been less than overwhelming. However having discussed it with Simou we think you have probably saved yourself from potential...

Excellent news Bob but I fear that George Wya beat you to the announcement at yesterdays White House briefing:

Hi Manso

Hi Rob

Hi Rob

I have both and whilst the FMT is a superbly engineered jig it is, as Zuma says, restricted by the size of wood you can actually fit. It is also a bench machine and you must take your...

Fellow sufferer AFL

The sacrifice you are making to enable the present Mrs AFL to purchase you a Domino to allow you to build non-parental furniture has touched a cord and restored my faith in...

Steve
I will try and get a kitten suit just to get a few quid off you but the problem is that Simou likes cats. (Especially straight off the BBQ).

Anthony
Your wife is a very very lucky girl. I...

Andrew

Another convert!

I spend most of my time hiding Festool purchases from my Chief of Staff and rearranging Systainer boxes in the shed to avoid the subsequent interrogation. I have even...

Ambers

I had a demo on the beadlock and decided that whilst it was a very good bit of kit at an attractive price I just couldn't get an accurate joint. Not the systems fault, it was wholly down...

Hi Snap

Its a fabulous saw but it does depend on what you want it to do. It is not an all purpose mitre saw but a specialised saw which has a limited capacity but cuts angles to perfection.

So nothing much then eh!:D

An excellent choice and a very sound purchase Felixe!

Did you manage to do a comparison test against the Metabo and if you did what feature(s) of the Festool won you over?

Pat

PTM

An elegant solution, well described and very cost effective!

Good to see another disciple of the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid) which allows even a numpty like me to understand...

Rick

I think you have probably upset Bob. He was really looking forward to his Domino but I do believe he will now cancel and use one of Stormin' Norm's brad guns in a fit of pique.:D

Keep...

Rob
Could have been my photos you posted! Same measurements/position.:D Glad to be of help.

Your table top is lovely. An excellent example of what Domi can do and a further nail in the coffin of...

Rob

I too have made spacers for Domi and used Irish sellotape to keep them on and hold the pins in. I will attempt to machine some different gauge spacers and a simple clip system in due course...

Anthony

I know this will grate with some but I have told the CoS that the Australian Woodwork website is not for her (or me for that matter:D )because it is:

The Duplex is the one to go for.

As for Systainer censii..... my Chief of Staff has a really annoying habit of noticing large white boxes too. The pictures of the tools on the front of...

Hi Greg

Not sure if you have a 150 Rotex but the boffins at Schloss Festool have brought out a new pad designed for getting into louvres. See link;...

Roger swears by the Duplex. He used it extensively on our verandah louvres in Rajistan. Miranda

Hi Greg

This is from a post I made on 5 May on the 'what is your favorite (Fes)tool' thread

Then in your case its probably DIC and not DOC.:rolleyes:



Has Kevin taken possesion of the Claw of Domiland

Rob
Thats a tricky one. I thought of DIC ( Domino Incomers Club) but it just didn't seem right.:D

Pat

I will ask my friend Gerald Whinfrey. He will know if DOC is 112B or not 112B.

Well done Wongo and welcome.

What was the DAC (Domino Admirers Club), has now been overtaken by the DOC (Domino Owners Club).

Pat

Roger of the Raj will be next.

You did. I distinctly remember our conversation......

Patr : Yes, she is very black today Lignum...

Boring, you? Never. Have I mentioned my Arkwright's Coal Scuttle Rivets collection?

Most certainly the early stages of Domimentia, which can be nipped in the bud by half a bottle of Lagavulin and a cold shower. Act fast Rob or you will be a prime candidate for the Eric Olthwait...

You have hit the nail on the head with your thoughtful and logical reply.

This house is a now biscuit free zone. Biscuits given to Son1 and the chap who bought the Lamello (which, bless it, sold for more than I paid for it 3 years ago.)

Thats a very fair comment but at what point, and with what powered tool, do you go from woodworker to wood machinist? I used to spend all of my weekends with my trusty Sandvik hand saw and...

Hi Joseph

The answer to all your questions, and more, are in the various threads in the Domino Forum because they have been asked before. Costs of cutters/domis are on Anthony's website...

Welcome Mick

Yep. Thats exactly what we've been trying to get across and, it would appear, with ever increasing success.

Good to see another dog on the Forum!

Welcome to the growing ranks of converts. There will be many more.

Pat and Simou

Lignum.

That is a cracking piece of furniture. If anyone seriously doubts the versatility and excellence of the Domino they should take a long look at your cabinet and your skilfull use of what...

Felixe
No contest. I would go for the 150/5. With with the appropriate discs fitted it will get rid of the rough stuff as well as give a superb finish.

Have a look at some of the other threads...

Welcome to the DAC Dan!

Hang on a mo. Am I dreaming? Did you say you were a girl? :eek:

If so take your Domino back to that nice Festool man and exchange it for girly things like ribbons...
