Sorry, didn't reply to you to say yes that's helpful. I think I've got my head around how the Domino works now, from your post and some reading around and asking silly questions on the festool owners forum. You're right, it's becoming apparent that using both CNC and Domino could be a headache and I may well revert to a Dado or butt joints held in place with 2-block knock down fixings. It should be a more forgiving system and I think I'll be able to hide all the blocks pretty well.
The domino is an amazing machine but takes a little while to get you head around all the adjustments. Kudos for trying to figure it out from just the manual! What are you making btw?
Some sort of kitchen dresser tailored towards storing Kilner jars but to be honest it's become more of an excesize in learning Fusion 360 and thinking about how a CNC based production could be made semi-customisable with parametric design.
