rubus Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Just curious if the bigger domino unit can work with 3/4 " material? In other words would it register in the middle of the board with an 8mm tenon? Just trying to convince myself to buy the bigger of the two......I work with mostly 3/4" material but I would like to have to ability to have a longer tenon for table aprons or bedframes.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneymack Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 If youre going to buy one get the 700 its the bomb diggity. Get the seneca adapter and your good to go. Ive used it with 3/4" stock and its great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barron Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I think the price difference is about $400+ before you get the Seneca adapters. The 700 is also a lot bigger. If most of your work is 3/4 stock, I'd think twice about the bigger unit. Many, many tables have been built with the 500, and exactly how many beds do you think you will be building? Of course, if money is no constraint, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
