The Domino XL DF-700 ("Domizilla" is easier to say...) is out in Europe, on the way here, but doesn't prevent us from making nearly 2 3/8" wide (58mm) mortises with its tiny cousin the DF-500.

In this video, I'll show you how to create your own loose tenon ('Domino') stock from project scrap and plunge repeatable oversized mortises.

Why would you want oversized Domino mortises? Many joints benefit from a larger mortise; best example is an apron-to-leg joint on a table. Sure you could plunge 2-3 regular Domino mortises, but this technique gives you another option.

  • Good video and thanks. But why all this trouble? With a router and the right bits, make slip tenons. Virtually any size. Set up time is less, and the work just as quick. I would use a Domino it's design purpose. Quick, smallish M & T joints in narrow work. It's capable of more, I know, but my point is the router is quicker and just as accurate.That said, you thought this out well, so good on you friend. Thanks again.

    MC.

  • Good vids. Can the locating pins go inside your first hole to create an offest close enough that you'll have two adjoining holes?
