Here’s a post on the Domino I wrote in 2009:

And a few more points in 2010:

I like the Domino a lot. Interestingly, in 2009 I mentioned the benefit of longer dominos and a new machine. The Domino 700 has since become available. I still think they ought to make wider domino pieces for the medium and widest slot settings, but you can make your own.

Over the years, I would still agree with the content of those posts, though I have developed more trust in the joint since then.

I have made traditional M&T joints for years , and the current issue of Fine Woodworking has an article on the Festool Domino system. Have you used this system and if so, would appreciate your thoughts … I just bought a Kapex saw and it is incredible thanks

I’ve only had the opportunity to try the L-N #51 at shows. It seems more suited to a shooting board with a captive track, which is where the design came from. It uses a bevel-down skewed blade. I liked the Veritas better, which uses a bevel-up skewed blade. I did not like gripping either plane by the handle, especially on a shooting board without a captive track, though I suppose a different grip could be used.

I’ve had a few problems with this especially on wider boards. Have ever compared the #9 to the #51?
