The Seneca Woodworking Dock Plate XL is an accessory that makes the repeated mortising of small pieces such as trim pieces or face frames quick and effortless. It attaches to both the Festool Domino df 500 and Domino XL df 700. Workpieces can be located with repeatable accuracy using the adjustable stop, which can be installed in three locations on the plate. Two locations for a Kreg Automax Bench Clamp allow easy left-hand or right-hand operation of the clamp. The Dock Plate XL will save you time and money by speeding up your workflow for mortising small parts.
The Dock Plate XL comes with one movable stop but a second or even third can be added (extra stops are available).
There are two versions of the Dock Plate XL: The Imperial version has an Imperial scale on the face for positioning the stops, and the plate thickness is the same as Seneca's "Domi-shim" so it's sized to work with their Imperial Thickness Gauge when used on the Domino XL. The Metric version of the Dock Plate has a Metric scale on the face and the plate thickness is exactly 10mm. This allows quick positioning the fence offset from the cutter by simply subtracting 10mm from the scale on the Domino. Offset from the cutter centerline for either Dock Plate can be set manually with a rule or setup block. When used with the Domino df 500, the offset from the cutter is set manually.
The Dock Plate XL is CNC machined from aircraft grade aluminum, anodized black, and laser engraved with imperial offset measurements. This is the first tool in Seneca's “Maker Collaboration” series of products, which they’ve designed in collaboration with other skilled craftsmen and makers. This tool is designed to work with the Domino Dock by Ramon Valdez of Ramon Valdez Fine Furniture which can be purchased complete or as plans to build yourself.

I am just getting started with this so not sure yet. I ordered the small Kreg clamp to use with it. I think that will be necessary as All other clamps I have seem clumsy with it. I can say more when I get that I try it on the many chair legs I need to mortise. Mathias Wandel children's chair video on YouTube if you are interested.

Excellent, easy to order and delivered on time. This plywood engraves and cuts very nice. I will be purchasing from KJP again in the near future.
Great purchase, wood smells and looks amazing. Wood purchase again in the future.
Having used typical shop vacs from both Shopvac and Ridgid I could not believe the difference in performance, efficiency, noise level, features and dust extraction capability of the Festool CT MIDI I. After attaching the MIDI to my Milwaukee track saw, I couldn’t see any dust anywhere which was quite a departure from what I have been accustomed to. Yes, the Festool is pricey however if you value your lungs and you insist on highest level of dust extraction capability, then it is worth every single penny spent to buy one.
