Festool Domino Dock

Sometimes when using the Festool Domino with small parts, it would be easier to have the Domino fixed and bring the small parts to the Domino, instead of bringing the Domino to the small parts. My Domino dock is inspired by Ramon Valdez's design (https://ramonvaldezfinefurniture.com/product/domino-dock-for-df500/), but designed to work with the shaper workstation
30 min

Files included (5)
12mm plywood: 360x120 for back plate
12mm plywood: 242x81 for box sides/front
cut front, left and right sides
adjust offset of notches for side pieces in the back plate until a good fit is obtained based on the exact thickness of plywood used
sides should be installed with rounded (but overall square) corners inside the back piece, creating a decreasing taper (top to bottom AND front to back) to capture the body of the domino.
the front should be glued/nailed/screwed onto the side pieces (I was not confident in creating box joints along a tapered interface)
Once assembled, the dock should interface with the alignment pins on the shaper workstation, and can then either be clamped into place or secured using tnuts
