It's worth it. Expensive but it just works perfectly. The precision you get out of it is spot on and you get it fast and easy. I've had many times where I was sure things weren't going to come together as nicely as I wanted them to only for them to line up perfectly because of the domino.

Your instructions are by far the most useful and viewer friendly of all that I have seen. You speak in layman's terms so it's easy to understand and comprehend. Keep em coming. Thanks again for the instructional videos.

I find when I make both sides of the joint loose it works against me trying in the glue up. I have better luck when I make one side entirely tight setting while the mating piece has one tight and the rest loose to make the assembly come together better. Also it allows you to glue one side in place for a larger glue up for less stress. Thanks for sharing these tips!

@sedgetool Год назад

Thanks

@teac117 Год назад

How would you use the cross stop with one side tight and one side loose? I figure there's a +3mm drift on the loose side which eventually will shift the centers too far apart for the corresponding tights. Or am I wrong here?

@realpdm Год назад

@@teac117 That is a totally valid point! I haven't done this method with the cross stops, only when doing the 'to a line' method like when doing a table top glueup. I've used the cross stops as references from the edge of the board so I get one further in than the built in would allow but you are absolutely right it wouldn't work to use the mortises as references this way.

@brandonblatchley Год назад

@@realpdmteac117 it’s possible, you have to double cut the loose ones. You cut them all tight working away from your original and then adjust to the loose setting and work your way back.

@chipsterb4946 10 месяцев назад

This video was really helpful. The more projects I build, the more I use an object any time I can over a ruler or tape measure. That’s where this tool really comes into its own. You posted a snarky reply to a comment of mine about using the loose setting on another video. However, now I understand why you prefer a single domino to index the side-to-side movement of the joint. It’s rare to have a joint where that side-to-side sheer strength has any importance, so alignment is the key. In fact, I can’t come up with an example making cabinets or drawers where the strength of the joint in that direction matters. And your approach will make assembly easier.

As a complete newbie to the Domino world, your videos have been my main source of learning and have learned so much, thanks! What's the relevance of the 37mm from the flap to centre of the bit? Why not 35 or 40? Does the 37 actually have any meaning behind it? Also, why come in off the first flap (37mm) and not say 20mm (with the flap on the removeable base)? Thanks

@sedgetool 4 месяца назад

37mm relevance is the same distance in 32mm cabinetry from the front of the cabinet to the center of the 1st system holes....

@processpsych 7 месяцев назад

So, I've never been able to get the mortises from my cross arms to line up consistently. It finally occurred to me to measure the actual distance to both spring loaded pins. Turns out that my left and right have an error/ difference of 1/16th of an inch. So, on small pojects it didn't matter, but on big panel glue ups, they will never line up correctly. Looks like there was a manufacturing oops somewhere.

the pin on the cross stops have an adjustment........there is a hex on the side ..loosen it then take a slotted screwdriver and look directect at the pin and you will see a slot . , depress the pin and use the screwdriver ..,it is cammed and by doing a few tests you can recalibrate...hope this makes sense.

@SeattleMarc Год назад

A BIG problem I have with these cross stops is that any tiny inaccuracy you have ends up multiplying and amplifying as you go down the board. For example if your left cross stop is miscalibrated from your right one, that measurement difference will drift and propagate down the line to larger and larger inaccuracies until no amount of wide mortise wiggle room will compensate and you end up destroying your work piece with misaligned mortises. Not worth it at all! Can you tell this is a lesson I learned the hard way?

@sedgetool Год назад

you should calibrate your cross stops...

@SeattleMarc Год назад

@@sedgetool you have to calibrate them EXACTLY. Any error will lead to drift. Too risky for me. Did this plastic thing come out of calibration from last time I used it? Etc. Also the DF500 comes with no calibration instructions, admittedly the 700 does. (Maybe a video idea ?)

I wish I could explain what I was doing without typing for a lifetime but, I can't. There will be enough melamine for a few errors and then some on this small project. In the end if it works out then these items stay with the machine. If I end up with alignment issues (dominos to opposite piece which will be on top not end to end) I'm likely gonna file these things with the circle cutter and tape measure.🗑
