Heard about this on the modern woodworking podcast.
DFM Toolworks is selling a steel plate (think dowel plate) designed to just slightly shave dominoes (the festool kind, not the game kind) so they are more suitable for dry fitting. I think all of us that use the domino have faced this one time or another. And most of us have dealt with the issue of too tight dominoes by sanding them slightly. This is an alternative; you just tap the domino through the appropriate hole in the plate and it takes just a little off. Maybe a little pricey but not out of line compared to all the other domino accessories out there.
I have probably 100 or so "dry fit" dominoes that I sanded down a bit (finally have my fingerprints back from that job) of the 14mm size, but not other sizes so I put it on my wish list.
I have no connection to the company, but I know there are a lot of domino users here that might be interested.

I still think there's a market for slightly undersized domino stock....
