for Leon, Charlie b, and other Domino users

Hey Guys,
What do you think of this "accessory" to the Domino? Say you want to
match up a rail to a leg or post and the indexing pins on the Domino
are not suitable for any number of reasons. Do you think that if
there were some domino shaped centering devices-similar to those dowel
ceter makers-that these might aid you in lining up where to put the
mating slot? The device could have a small protruding pin that would
put its mark slightly above the top plane of the slot so you could
locate the position with the tool's cursor.
Anyway, it was just a thought- and I already sent it to Festool so you
can't scoop me on this.
Marc

Cool thought but, The Domino can be lined up free hand the same way a
biscuit joiner is lined up. Make a mark on the wood at the center point of
the mortise to be cut and line that up with the center mark on the fence
window.
