Sedge, Love your channel and Festool Live. You, Brent, and "Big D" do a great job. As one of the longest domino 500 users in North America (I was a tool tester prior to it's general release) i have a 5th law: Always set the domino back to the tight setting when you put it down. When you pick it up to use it it will be ready; if you cut a tight hole by mistake, you can easily make it larger...it's much harder to make a domino hole smaller :-) FYI This is Dave from Rio Rancho NM from Live

This was great thank you for sharing. I have the Domino 500 (700 on the way) and it is great to have tips and techniques so I don't have to learn them the hard way with ruined work pieces. If you wanted a suggestion for more content I would appreciate clear and accurate information on how to calibrate my Festool products like the Domino and track saws. My domino for instance hs the left and right pins not perfectly calibrated, so if I move around and reference on the opposite pin things don't line up perfectly. I've seen some older tips on how to solve this but having your techniques would be great!

If making a box with mitre cut… using domino & for the domino’s to go at proper 90 degree angle, does this mean that you need to reference from inside of box when cutting domino into the mitre angle & as not referenced from the displayed outside, could it make the outside mitre ‘ up & down’ as needed to be referenced from inside.. if that makes sense 🤔

Sedge, I learned law #1 and #3 the hard way. 🤦‍♂️ My local Festool rep. John Knight accually brought me up to speed on law #3, he's a great guy! But here's a learning I need to share. I still had issues with my DF500 when joining panels, they would crown or bow when brought together. It was like I was pushing down on the end of the DF500 and cutting up into the board, but I wasn't. I thought it was my jointer, my table saw not being square and I chased my tail for months trying to figure it out, but to no avail. I bought a DF700 and while reading the instructions it explained how to square the plate to the base. So for laughs I checked it, and I found it to be over square. This would have cause it to cut up into the board, so I calibrated it. Then I checked my DF500, and low and behold it too was over square. So I calibrated it and immediately milled some new panels to glue up, and walla, "PERFECT" joints! That was the problem the whole time. So my advice to all Domino owners is to verify the plate to base for 90deg. squareness, it just might make all of the difference in the world. All the Best, Chuck.

@grumpywiseguy5992 3 жыл бұрын

Sedge, thanks for the video. In my opinion, after about 2 thousand domino joints, cutting a domino mortise is a skill, only learned from practice and paying total attention to what is going on whilst drilling the mortise hole. How the cutter drills the hole depends upon not only the operator, but the wood type, density, thickness and which size domino is being used. You change any of these variables, and the cutter will behave differently. In such a way as to ruin the joint that is being attempted if all four of your rules and another 4 rules aren't followed precisely. MDF cuts differently than pine, than plywood, and the type of plywood. Much less hardwood, which I have never done so far. The Domino System will cut the most precise mortises in the business, but ONLY when used precisely. For instance, I prefer the 6mm X 40mm size for 7 layer baltic plywood (Big Box Store sourced). It cuts smoother, with less chatter, and provides for a stronger joint. In MDF, I prefer the 5mm x 30mm size because the MDF needs more support around the domino and MDF cut SMOOTH. If I change wood, then I have to practice cutting mortises before attempting any finish work. If I change cutters, same thing. This tool is NOT designed for amateurs. I am one, I should know. It has to be used a lot and on a continuous basis to gain the skill and expertise to use it to the limits of precision that it is capable of. And there is no other tool on the planet that can match it's precision and speed in cutting a wood joint. It is worth every penny, and there are a lot of them to acquire one of these tools, but it is WORTH EVERY PENNY, if one wants to master the tool to get the final result it is capable of.

@sedgetool 3 жыл бұрын

wow... thanks for sharing your experience..... I totally agree the more you use the more you come to appreciate the domino's precision....... thanks for the GREAT comment !!!!!

@toolchuck 2 жыл бұрын

GWG, I get and agree with the general gist of what you're saying about the more you use it the better you'll be at using it, that pretty much goes along with anything. But I wholeheartedly disagree that, as you say, "it has to be used a lot and on a continuous basis to gain the skill and expertise to use it to the limits of precision that it is capable of", and "This tool is NOT designed for amateurs". Operating a DF500 or a DF700 for that matter isn't complicated, it cuts mortises plain and simple. And thanks to Festool engineering the DF500/700 are not only very precise but quite easy to use. Anyone that is going to get into woodworking and wants to build using joinery instead of pocket holes and or screws (I'm not a hater, just saying) then a Domino should be high on their list. I also believe starting out with a DF700 is better in many cases, as it provides more options due to its depth of cut. I have both and I did the usual, I bought the DF500 first, then the DF700. If I had bought the DF700 first, I might not have bought the DF500, well maybe. 😜 All the Best, Chuck.

@kyleolson8977 Жыл бұрын

I think it is somewhat of a skill, but if you reference and mark properly and use the machine patiently you'll get most if it down pretty quick. The problem most of us had is that we jumped in assuming it would be like using a drill press or jigsaw, just plain obvious.
