   * Pivoting Fence allows you to create angled mortises from 0-90° with positive stops at 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°.
   * Domino cutters of different diameter thicknesses can be used to create mortises of different width, height and depth.
+Points to remember:
   * Mortise width setting should only be changed when machine is turned off (not running).
+  * Gently tighten Domino bit cutters.  Do not over tighten. Rotation of cutter will self-tighten cutter.
   * Dust collector hose must be connected and used at all times when machine is running.

+Four Domino Laws
+  - Always reference off the same face of workpieces being joined.
+  - Always reference off the plate (mostly) and work off the table.
+  - Plunge in line.
+  - Plunge at a steady rate.
+  * Referencing the plate & working off the table ensure dominoes are at the right height.
+  * Plunging too fast can cause chatter and result in a loose fitting domion.
