I did to mine many years ago and have never had to redo the calibration... well, except for the video that shows you how to do it!<br /><br />Here's the entry... give it a watch then watch it again while doing the calibration. The more careful you are with it, the better the results; my corner joints usually come out so flush that only light sanding makes them perfect.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.halfinchshy.com/2011/10/calibrating-festool-domino-cursor.html" rel="nofollow">Calibrating the Festool Domino Cursor</a>HalfInchShyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633026047989713624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703009255391882847.post-45911553100012627272012-09-10T18:34:44.596-07:002012-09-10T18:34:44.596-07:00Hello Paul

If I use a pencil mark and cut the mortise insert the domino the marks are always offset. Maybe there is something with the scale being out of sync with the cutter. Would you recommend sending it in, would like your opinion and enjoy watching the videos, they got me into buying the tool.

It's fast with the Domino.<br /><br />You have a great product idea, Chris: curly Maple putty :)<br /><br />And thanks to the peanut gallery :) I'll be sure to keep the #2s off the camera!

The joints look great and will probably be the best for an easy and strong glue-up.<br /><br />I noticed that this video is quite short by your standards. I vote to keep them long as long as it's not all filler. We don't want to see 1/2" putty between those mitres, y'know?<br /><br />ChrisChrisHasFlairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789176232191404489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703009255391882847.post-15061367091029874672012-06-27T05:08:21.347-07:002012-06-27T05:08:21.347-07:00Hey Paul, that looks a very complicated build, not...Hey Paul, that looks a very complicated build, not sure I would of liked to tackle it anyways. I think my brain would of fried with all those angles! Do you think there was an easier way of joining the whole lot up?? Could you of used splines for example?Mark Rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977328358666766561noreply@blogger.com
