Make accurate and repeatable cuts,
The domino jointing system is a very accurate mortising machine system along with loose tenons that can be used in all forms of furniture making.
Think biscuit joiner/ dowels on steroids!!

You must have done the basic wood induction!
It’s short notice so unlikely to be full but first six to reply are on
Come along to the Open Evening on Wednesday 28th, 7pm (every second Wednesday). Check the place out, meet some people, and decide if you’d like to become a member. Most machines require an induction to use them safely, inductions are very simple and just teach you how to use them safely so you don’t injure yourself or others, and to use the equipment properly. This thread is about a course for members who have already done the basic woodshop induction, and will teach you how to use the equipment to make something functional with it.
If you’re interested in becoming a member, here’s our little pre-membership survey. As Dan mentioned, the Open Evening is also a great way to see the Makerspace and you will get a scenic tour.
That sounds great, i was exactly trying to go through this but didnt find the survey.
