Do I need a Domino? / What do you use yours for?

vendredi 29 août 2014

Ok,



So it may seem like a silly question but I was interested to hear from Domino users what you use it for and if it would be worth me investing in one. I'm not one to try and keep up with the Jones however we are planning an extension on our house and as a result I see the opportunity to undertake a number of projects myself to help save some dollars. I can justify the cost of the Domino (and perhaps a dust extractor (vac) if needed) if I will get enough use out of it for the projects I had in mind.



These are the sort of projects that I need to undertake:






  • Walk in Robe Joinery - Standard melamine construction (although perhaps adding hardwood edging) typical open shelving, drawers and hang space;

  • Vanity Units - Likely to be solid timber tops for vanity units - ie edge jointing 40-50mm thick boards for top;

  • Dining Table - Large dining table (design and leg construction unknown but will require joining of the top);

  • Buffet - Similar sort of design and details to this designer/manufacturer (http://www.bomboracustomfurniture.co...ards-buffets);

  • TV cabinet - Similar design / construction to buffet.






Timbers are most likely going to be messmate or spotted gum.



I do have a biscuit jointer that I haven't used much, but the above projects are not the sort of work than I would typically undertake. I guess I could always sell it after I finish the projects but I am keen to hold onto tools as they generally have further uses down the track. Im am leaning towards it being useful for the solid timber projects, but would it have any use in the melamine construction?



I have watched a few you tube videos and understand the concept of the Domino but I would be interested to hear how it is being used on real world projects and if it would be of considerable benefit in the projects I have in mind. From what I have read it needs to be connected to the shop vac? If so that is another expense I will need to consider (although that will be handy in the future).



Cheers



Stinky
