Domino 4mm tenons - fredhargis - 10-19-2020
I've only learned recently (I think Bill de mentioned it in another thread) that there is now a 4MM bit and tenons for the 500 Domino. Anyone using these want to comment on their usefulness? I've never considered the Domino a replacement for the Biscuit Joiner, but the 4mm tenon might change my thinking. I'm not looking for the typical comparison, just 4 MM tenon experience.

I’ve found the 4mm dominos very useful for building strong drawers. Takes a bit of precise work but they work well with 1/2” thick drawer components. I’ve also used them successfully in reinforcing miter joints. Amazingly strong once glued up.

I use the heck out 4mm but I make a lot of smaller scale projects with 1/2" material.

Thanks, I've got the cutter and some tenons in my cart at Amazon.

The CMT cutters are cheaper:

I used them on picture frames. No problems.

When using the smallest bit, make sure you let the bit come to a stop before moving the machine. Many users broke their bit while not being careful.

Looks nice, but expensive for a home hobbist.
