3. Routing height
adjuster with scale.

Simple, precise routing height adjustment.
7. Patented routing principle.
Route long holes in an instant thanks to the simultaneous turning and oscillating

4. Movable stepped stop.
Height adjuster for central hole in material thicknesses: 16, 20, 22, 25, 28, 40 mm.
8. Miter routing.
Catch positions at 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5° and 90° as well as infinitely variable routing angles from 0 to 90°.

SYSTAINER CONTENTS:


Why is the Domino Better Than a Dowel?
  • Stonger Than Doweling or Biscuits
  • More Than Twice As Much Gluing Surface as Biscuits
  • Positive Lateral Alignment from Reference Tenon
  • Variable Mortise Widths Make Assembly Easy
  • Can Be Used in Stock As Narrow as 3/4 inch
  • Ideal for Face Frame Joinery
  • Oversize Fence Makes Alignment Easy
  • Perfect for Edge, Butt, Miter, and Complex Joints
  • Unique Domino Shape Makes Them 100% Rotation Proof!
  • The DOMINO

    A perfect fit.
    Thanks to an accurately-routed long
    hole and special DOMINO groove
    geometry.
    Maximum stability.
    Thanks to the shape of the DOMINO
    dowel, designed with expanding glue
    slots and side grooves.
    Panel joins.
    Quick, solid joints, no alignment
    required when gluing.
    100% rotation-proof.
    Right from the first DOMINO dowel.
    Rack joints.
    Suitable for work pieces with
    dimensions greater than
    15 x 22 mm.
    Frame joints.
    Insertion of several DOMINO dowels
    provides maximum stability for
    heavily loaded frame components.

    DOMINO PRICIPALS

    Unique among handheld machines: the routing movement.

    The routing tool turns and oscillates simultaneously - a patented principle that up to now has only been available on expensive stationary machines

    The result is accurately cut mortises for solid, rotation-proof joints

    Manufacturing mortises with a handheld machine is currently a unique concept. With the DOMINO Joining System, conventional systems such as biscuit and dowels or the manufacture of mortise and tenon joints can now be phased out

    Domino Joining System Applications

    PANEL JOINT, MITERED

    End join panels with bevel joints quickly and accurately.

    Release the clamp lever

    Adjust the tilting base for the positioning angle:

    1. as required via the millimeter scale 0-90 degrees or
    2. to preset positions at 0, 22.5, 45, 67.5 or 90 degrees

    Tighten lever clamp

    Rout mortises along the scribe line on the bevel cut in the board

    User Tip:
    Use the DOMINO joining system to manufacture a clothes rack in no time at all.


    PANEL JOINT, EDGELESS

    Flush panel joints are easy to make:

    Position the DOMINO Joining Machine on the edge of the workpiece using the stop pin. Rout the first mortise accurately in relation to the DOMINO - without clearance

    The remaining mortises can be routed (with clearance) either:

    1. along the scribe line via the viewing window or
    2. using the movable stop pins and the cross stop

    Glue the joint in position in one operation

    FRAME JOINT, MITERED

    Stable mitered frame joints in hardwood are also easy to make.

    Draw a scribe line over both frame sections

    Select a suitable sized DOMINO and set the routing depth. Pay special attention to the routing height when arranging two rows of DOMINOs, one above the other

    Secure the frame sections e.g. on the multifunction table, rout the mortises and glue the sections together

    FRAME JOINT, EDGELESS

    Create sturdy frame joints in an instant:

    Select a suitably sized DOMINO and set the routing width. Measure the rails and adjust the routing depth via the stepped stop

    The rails can be aligned perfectly central to the machine using the trim stop (accessory)

    After routing all the rails, simply remove the trim stop and rout the remaining mortises width the same height setting

    It's as simple as that! Then glue the frame and you're done!

    ATTACHED FRAME

    Create a shell with integrated frame (flush joint):

    Rout panel joints along the scribe line and glue the shell. The first DOMINO makes sure that the panel joint is flush

    Rout mortises for locating the frame in the shell: the first hole is routed precisely to the size of the DOMINO. The remaining mortises are made with a slight clearance, to compensate for minor positioning inaccuracies and to allow for expansion and contraction of the material

    Dry fit the assembly before gluing: simply insert the DOMINOS into the mortises and then place the frame in position

    BALUSTRADE

    Balustrade and handrail assembly is easy with the DOMINO Joining System:

    Stable glued joints are easy to make, especially in frame assembly. Designed for material widths of 22mm and above

    The special shape and large gluing area of the DOMINO produces a solid joint that's as stable as a mortise and tenon joint

    The elongated shape of the DOMINO makes the rails and balusters 100% rotation-proof

    DOOR FRAME

    Creating door frames is extremely easy with the DOMINO Joining System.

    You can even rout mortises in the rebate of a door frame with DOMINOs flat design

    The routed mortises are perfectly sized to the width of the DOMINO. The edges of the door frame sections fit together perfectly and straightaway

    Solid rack joints are easy to manufacture.

    GARDEN SUNBED

    Small batch production with the DOMINO DF 500 Joining Machine.

    Small production runs can be produced economically using the trim stop

    Simply adjust the trim stop to the required dimension and get started. All the slats are routed centrally

    The DOMINO Joining System can even rout mortises in frame rebates - the frame fits together perfectly

    Assemble all the components and your new garden sunbed is done

    User Tip:
    The DOMINO Joining System is particularly suitable for individual items or small batches of items that incorporate multiple slats.

    GLUING

    Standard gluing procedure.

    Apply glue, making sure that the mortises have a sufficient coating on both sides

    The glue settles in the grooves and expands the glue slots on the DOMINO

    Completely coating both sides of the mortises increases stability

    User Tip:
    The DOMINO joint is as stable as a motise and tenon joint, only much quicker to manufacture and more adaptable, especially in frame and rack assembly.
