Because one mortice will be in there panel edge, which I think it's a much more complex feat by CNC, and the one on the face is in the middle of the board at 43 degrees to the edge, so would need a jig. But yeah, I've eliminated some of the Domino butt joints now for, possibly not a bad idea moving away for the rest given the headaches that it could cause. Fwiw that side paddle dimension is nominally 37mm though prone to the same calibration issues apparently. I think if struggle getting the cut in the centre of ply given board thickness can vary by more than a mm.
I was looking at the intelligent fixings peanut 2 also which seems appealing but requires a special router bit.

I've had a domino since release date sometime around 2005 I think. Made lots of furniture with it. I did at one point find the measurements online to set the fence to half the material width rather than having to work from the reference edge all the time which was useful. Can't seem to find it at he moment though.
In the first iteration those tabs were the same as the ones on the wings in the photo and you can set them within a fraction of a mm because they are fixed in concentric grub screw things.
Why not either do both parts with cnc or both parts with the domino?
