Larry, I recall you own some Makita tools, and I know you use your

plate joiner whose precision you are very happy with, I hope that you'll
share with me which one you are using. I'm trying to make sure I choose
one with a reliable fence.

Of course, anyone is free to reply to this thread.

Sorry, that was supposed to be PJ7000.

I've got the PC 557 which has a good fence. To be honest it hasn't
been used in sometime. If I went looking for it and it wasn't there I
would be more worried about not being able to remember what happened
to it. Some of it is having the Domino, but had better luck with
pocket screws, or splines. But that's just my opinion others may
really like and use them.

Agree there, having both the PC 557 and the Domino, choosing the Domino
over the PC 557 is like choosing square drive over straight. I keep the
PC557 as there are odd times when I need a narrow moon shaped slot, like
for a desk drawer lock with the swinging arm that needs to turn into a slot.
