#65 - Festool Domino XL DF-700 'Domizilla' Review

I won&be mortising in this video. Ah, but no sad look... there are three other videos being edited now that will show: the Domizilla in use making some mortises; this is mostly an action film :) how to calibrate the fence cursor; this is applicable and highly recommended for both models... do this the day you receive either (both?) a Domino Joint Encyclopedia that shows how a number of common joints are made, how to make them wrong, and some strength tests for different glue-up methods; this is applicable and demonstrates both Domino models. These videos will be released over the next 10 days so subscribe or "watch this space" for more. For disclosure, the Test Drive program requires testers to return the full kit on June 1, 2012 or allows the testers to purchase it at...
