Using the Domino for mortises

Recommended Posts

I am going to build a variation of the COD but am going to start with some nightstands before I tackle a dresser. I want to use the Domino for the M & T joinery but not sure it will work with the grooves in the legs for the panels. Do I need to make a stopped groove instead of having it run the length of the leg? I know that Marc used haunched tenons for part of the joinery. I think I can do something similair using different sized domino stock, has any one ever tried this? Thanks in advance! James

We have used dominoes in the corners of a cope and stick raised panel door. Used the deepest plunge setting on the groove side and 15 mm on the tongue side. I think they were 8 x 40 dominoes. The door frame was about 15/16 thick, the router bit set wouldn't let us cut any thicker. The domino cut right through the groove with no problem.
