Installing the Narrow Frame Fence 
1. 
With the fence tilted to 90 degrees, slide the narrow 
frame fence over the fence face of the Domino joiner as 
shown. Make sure the narrow frame fence is fully seated 
onto the joiner’s fence. 
2. 
Slide the two latch tabs inward. 
3. 
Tighten the two thumbscrews. 
Setting the Fence Width 
1. 
Loosen the two green thumbscrews on the bottom of the 
fence. 
2. 
Place the workpiece between the two guides and slide 
the guides inward. 
3. 
Use the position gauge on the Domino joiner fence face 
to center the workpiece. 
4. 
With the side guides tight to the workpiece and the 
workpiece centered in the position gauge, tighten the 
two thumbscrews. 
5. 
Hint: Make note of where the workpiece lines up on the 
horizontal position gauge, and use the position gauge 
when cutting the mortise on the mating frame for a 
T-joint frame. 
 
 
Applications 
Edge Joining Boards 
Edge joining boards is a common 
method for creating wide boards from a 
series of narrower boards. The Domino 
tenons add strength to the joint and also 
assist in aligning the boards to be flush. 
For edge joining boards, a series of 
tenons are placed down the length of 
the joint. The first tenon is used to 
register the two boards horizontally, so 
it is milled at standard width. The 
remaining tenons align the boards flush 
and may be milled with an oversize 
width. 
 
Tips for Successful Joining 
► 
with the mortise width dial set to the narrow setting 
► 
For subsequent mortise slots you can keep the mortise 
width at the minimum setting, but you may find it easier 
to set the mortise width dial to the next widest setting.  
► 
Place the mortise slots 6 to 12 inches apart for standard 
joints, but this spacing should be decreased for joining 
plywoods or when a stronger joint is needed. 
► 
Instead of marking the mortise placements with pencil lines, 
evenly space the mortises down the length of the boards. To 
do this, use the outrigger locating pin in the previous 
mortise slot.
