I find it perfectly safe to cut mortises half the width of stock. 8mm is not even 3/8" wide, and perfectly suited to 3/4" stock. However, the fence when lowered all the way will still sit proud of 3/4" stock, meaning you would have to hang the domino off the end of a bench to cut the joinery. I would still say the XL can be used quite effectively even with 3/4" stock, but if that's typically all you work with, the original Domino is likely the better choice. However, if you often use thicker stock, the XL is likely the more versatile option.Rob Boishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10035998896364908864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685140657992635767.post-60529680821282604932012-04-26T17:48:55.740-04:002012-04-26T17:48:55.740-04:00Rob,

Following up on your comment about the tradeoffs between the Domino and the DXL, I thought the biggest tradeoffs were the weight of the DXL potentially making it difficult to make truly perpendicular cuts, especially in thin stock. I'm also glad you point out that the smallest 8mm bit (roughly 1/3 of an inch) limits the practical application to stock that's nearly one inch thick. To what extent do you think these two factors would limit your ability to use this machine to make furniture? Assuming you were always working with 3/4 or larger stock, do you think you could live without the standard Domino and rely on the DXL for your floating tenon needs? Thank in advance for your feedback.Garnet70https://www.blogger.com/profile/03406164056164194847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685140657992635767.post-15494256319071232762012-04-01T10:27:13.762-04:002012-04-01T10:27:13.762-04:00I was selected as a test user for the Domino XL. ...I was selected as a test user for the Domino XL. As a test user, you get to use the tool for several months before its release. And full disclosure, this isn't a freebie, nor am I in any way given any incentive to say positive things about the tool. It's just an early access program and I can purchase the tool at a discount at the end.Rob Boishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10035998896364908864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685140657992635767.post-53801296867744588582012-03-31T18:45:08.777-04:002012-03-31T18:45:08.777-04:00Where did you get the Domino XL if it isn't in...Where did you get the Domino XL if it isn't in stores yet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685140657992635767.post-59380919437733323512012-03-30T23:03:09.993-04:002012-03-30T23:03:09.993-04:00Looking forward to seeing the finished table.
