You guys are doing a great job!! I love your style!! I've been considering the purchase of a domino 700 for a long time now. Thanks to this video I went to PMC Machinery in Hammond LA last Monday and bought one ( my first FESTOOL) :-) The tool is amazing. I'm super stoked about how quickly and easily I can make a tight and exact fitting joint!!! The track saw is next. Thanks again fellas for the videos.

Disappointing that there is such negative feedback about this session. It’s new, innovative and interesting Thanks guys

Good work in difficult circumstances! I'm an experienced Domino 700 user but I still found this useful and interesting -Thanks!!

just bought a DF500 last week and finally got to play with it. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it's pretty slick. Just remember not to push it at all when lining it up or it will start cutting. The gap between the cutter and the wood is pretty small. Great tool and no dust or chips when using it!! Very impressive.

Excellent! Thank you. Another way to label your cabinet parts is to draw a triangle on the back edge of your work piece: top and bottom of the triangle are top & bottom cabinet parts, sides of the triangle split in half are the sides of your cabinet, middle of the triangle are the dividers. And you can also draw a small triangle on each part to indicate that it is part of the larger triangle drawn on your combined parts. I think it is called the Carpenter's or European marking method. If you think about it no other shape would work ie. circle, rectangle etc.... The insides of the triangle indicate the insides of your cabinet. You still have to remember whether the sides trap the top & bottom or vice versa, but that is easy.

Excellent video - helped me a lot with getting the most out of my domino

Thanks for doing these demo's .

Hey Sedge, nice work on this! The shelf joint set-up is awesome! It might be possible that I used a more convoluted approach in the past.. Good to see you are still drinking enough coffee to stay awake. :)

Love the tutorial videos! Is there a difference between the older DF 500 and the ones they made in 2020 plus ?

Sedge thanks so much for all your awesome tips and tricks. Want to know where you got your Festool storage units. Thanks so much.

I love the Festool colored shoes and the mask!

People compare your tools like there going to frame a house in rugged territory. Festool is made for someone doing high end work in the home not the driveway. Festool the best tools I have laid my hands on. I have been doing construction for over 20 years. One more great piece from the amazing Germans. Best ball bearing in the world and Germans came up with... the jet engine in wwll. Thanks for all you guy do!

What a great vid Guys. I so wish i could get Festool here in the Philippines.

Thanks very useful, especially the 'shelf joint' exercise.

Ok... my question is about angles. I'm doing a trestle table and I have angled pieces going into flat pieces. How do I do this? Is there a video?

Great video, I just subscribed! Thanks for explaining how to do a shelf joint, I kept messing that up, but great tip on marking the boards and placing the marks on top of each other, I don't know how many times I've messed that up! Also another great tip on the 5x30 for 18mm board, I have messed up a couple of boards forgetting to reset the depth. Thank you Sedge!

It's hilarious how much sedge has come out of his shell after 3 years of doing festool live.

Could you make a detailed video on miter domino joints please? How to cut a 45 degree miter on ts55, how to domino it precisely and clamp while gluing?

Thanks Sedge! I learned a few new things. Maybe I need to take another class. Have you seen through Dominoes as a design or decorative choice?

Lovely tool l have one of the XL700 ,Thanks your instruction,Zafari from Adelaide South Australia,

Great job and thanks for the pointers . Love the shelf way of domino

OK, if your'e using 16mm melamine sheets would you use 4 x 20 dominos?

Thanks for posting this on YT because I don’t use IG. Looking forward to the video on connectors.😊

I was going to use pocket holes on my workshop shelves. Now I'll be using 4 x 20 dominos on 16mm melamine and your method. No more annoying inaccuracies and ugly holes.

Please please please actually do a video showing mid-panel joinery (aka shelf joint) with the DF 700.

what penciled you use? I love these videos

Loving the content i watched this just before i used my new to me DF 500. But i major information that is lacking here is the special instructions when using the 4mm cutter. Rhe 5,6,8 and 10mm cutters depth of cut is same idea but 4mm need to double the depth of cut on the indicator to what is desired. A 4mm dominos are 4mm x 20mm long. So 10mm mortise requires the domino depth of cut to be set at 20mm. This is because the 4mm cutter is half the length in its shaft compared to the rest for the DF 500.

I really love your videos you always make a smile on my face 🙌🏻😁🤘🏼🤘🏼(the German videos are so boring 😂bec I'm from Austria and I also like your quick tips great work!!!!!!! 💪🏼💪🏼

Does Festool sell a retrofit kit to replace the paddles on the 500 model with the original style pins? I love the pins and loathe the paddles.

No they don‘t. I tried it here in Germany. As far as I know it has something to to with a patent conflict. So needed to stop building the pin versions. Due to easier fine adjustnent i prefer the pin version as well....but no chance to get it. I ordererd the complete fence as a spare unit....I got the new version.

The 700 still uses pins and was one of the reasons I went for it over the 500, it just felt better.... So if they can still use it on one version of the tool I doubt it's a patent conflict.

Martin McCaffrey The 700 has a different design than the original pin design of the 500. Welsh Rabbit is right the „Big M“ German company was the reason for the change.

You’re so cool. Love your passion. Greetings from Munich, Germany

Ugh...I tried to watch this, as I am confident it would have been an educational video, but the others were just too distracting, and even blocking the scenes. If you insist on combining two video formats in one session, why not combine all of the cameras or phones on one stabilizer or tripod and eliminate the distraction?

This is great, nice job.

My domino does not finish flush along the bottom, when I am making a box a window box driving me crazy. I use the method which is the German video can you make a window box using the domino please

Since I'm not watching it live... i'm going to ask my questions by timeline 4:51 - does this "support bracket" come with the DF 500 Q Set? You did great on all the others. I saw lots of comments about the video being distracting... um.... ok. Maybe. BUT... it's a LIVE video and they said it was their first time. So... I'm good! I thought it was great and I learned a lot. BUYING MY DOMINO TOMORROW!!!!!!!

Please give us simple, fuss-free, plain, rational and straight stuff. In terms of production this the worst I have watched from yourselves. Thank you for posting still as it takes work and effort and we know you have invested in it and that is appreciated. If I had to chose I would have this over nothing at all but you can do (and have done) so much better so easily

I made the same mistake and forgot to change depth when using 6x40 and blew out through the side of my first cabinet ... switched to 5x30 and will never make the mistake again ... KISS

God I wish I live closer to Asheville. I would go over there with all my camera equipments.

What about sending one the Festool Domino's over to AvE letting him give us the honest review of the machine.....

Guys do you watch TV vertically on its side or horizontally on the base!! So why are you shooting video on a mobile vertically!!

I don't even own one of these and I'm watching lol

Angled dominos like on chair

I’m sure the vacuum clamp is good... but maybe too noisy for when you are making a video. You could do those Domino plunges with the in line clamps

It looks like Sysrainer Heaven ....

If festoool are aware that using a 5x30 domino is not ideal for joining 18mm boards and considering that's the main use ( for the 500 anyway) ,why don't they make a 6x30mm domino?

That is a mountain of Festool Plastic.

That’s fly over the 700 we don’t want to get into that makes it too complicated to explain when you have to work at the bottom

Less video of the guy filming the video. Tried watching the whole thing... while I appreciate the effort, it was painful to watch all the way through. Just one camera and the presenter is fine. Especially annoying was when one of the camera guys would step right in front and obstruct the view of a procedure. Please don’t do it this way again.

I have seen several of your lives and it was so.nice to not hear sedge do the 3 stooges sounds. He’s supposed to be selling the Festool name, which in this video he did a great job and only heard one three stooges sound. The lives he does as a whole are very informative, but hearing the three stooges sounds are really annoying, inappropriate and have nothing to do with selling the product. For those of you who don’t know, you can buy an adapter by a company called Seneca, at Woodcraft, which is like $75.00 and eliminates the need to buy a 500 later on. It screws onto the 700 and allows you to do ANY size domino.

Great videos. Just slow it down a bit please.

Thanks but too poorly produced to watch.

I’m guessing festool rigged this up on the quick so how about a bit less whining from the stalls, keeping going Sedge and co

The hovering masked camera guys in each others’ shots are really creepy and distracting. Your producer needs to come down to the studio 😂

RiRi, true, François Truffaut they aren't, but what the film lacked in production value, Sedge more than made up with useful content. Cheers!

Difficult to watch. Even as a “First video” some things are obvious - don’t block the camera, don’t run loud equipment when trying to speak, show a close up of the settings on the machine when they are critical, etc. Lots of useful info but it got lost in the lack of editing.

too much caffeine before the demo??

The "iPhone cameramen" are very distracting. Please keep them out of future presentations and for sure make them use safe distancing practices.

Tell your cameraman to stay out of the way more and respect the camera position!... love your presentations

For Festool the quality of this video production and presentation is not up to standard! Very disappointing... you can do better Festool USA!

send me the 115 raz

Do you guys have a festool tape measure? Cause you guys nowhere near two metres apart. Shame on festool allowing its staff to work in these conditions

Please have someone film who doesn’t constantly move around. Plus the two guys walking in front of the camera ...wtf!

Very annoying to watch

Couldn’t get past the first two minutes, completely unwatchable. Do better.

Reasonable content but as others have noted, completely amateurish camera work and the presenter is over the top irritating.

Let’s not bother with the distance from each other then.....Complete waste of time show that at the beginning. The guy is a nut job.

rather aggrressive approach with tools , i felt uneasy watching this guy

"Understanding the domino" by "New Brit Workshop" is way better and much clearer to watch , i can`t understand this over confident ,super excited , fake laughing and loud talking style ...

Could not really take more than about 10 minutes of this video. The quality of the production is ridiculous. Can you imagine two or three jokers trying to film this with their iPhones and getting in the way of a professional production. Mickey Mouse could do better. The background noise from the vacuum adds to the confusion. Can't imagine that a company like festival cannot produce an instructive video.

Good contents, overreacting.

Overpriced crap. . . I have taken one of these apart and it's made of a lot of plastic parts. . . Get yourself a biscuit machine and save yourself hundreds of dollars! It's not the tool, it's the man behind the tool and how he uses it!
