Hi everyone. Can I just remind everyone here at Wix that the new Forums on the Discourse platform are up and running and working well. This does mark a general move away from the Wix website; Wix has lost any trust I had since they bluntly closed the Forum app, so while I’m cross-posting member videos here at Wix and over on discourse for now, I will phase that out over the course of this month November, and expect to be posting exclusively over on Discourse from December onwards.
If you haven’t already familiarised yourself with the Discourse forums then head over at your convenience by hitting the New Forums link in the header, or go directly there with the link below.
There’s a brief explainer post on the discourse platform and the 10MW forums here -

Hi Peter,
I am not a Domino user. So, please forgive me if I am being dim.
Watching this, I found myself wondering whether the comparison of a full joint assembly was needed for each fence on at least one machine.
Without the experience of ever using a Domino, or the inclination to watch loads of videos to learn how to do it properly, it is not clear to me whether the offset using the Festool recommended method was the result of mis-calibration between the old Domino + new fence or whether it would/could happen with the old Domino + old fence and you would have to use the same technique.
The implication being that you evolved your technique to…
