Could anyone measure the exact thickness of a Festool domino, and if possible the thickness of the mortise. Is the 8mm bang on 8mm or is it around 8.3mm?
I noticed today that my Festool domino xl is cutting slightly oversized mortises. I have tried a few cutters and I’m getting 0.2 to 0.3mm over thickness. I measured this with a reliable set of Calipers and tried a few different cutters.
Tbh I have no idea whether it has always been like this (I’ve had it 7 years) because I always make my own tenons, and plane them till they are a snug fit. I only noticed because I bought some trend tenons and they were sloppy.
Thanks
