Festool DOMINO Garden Sunbed

Summary:
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.

Festool DOMINO Door Frame

Summary:
Creating door frames is extremely easy with the DOMINO Joining System:
You can even rout mortises in the rebate of a door frame with DOMINO's 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.

Festool DOMINO Principles

Summary:
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.

Festool DOMINO Panel Joint - Mitered

Summary:
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.

Festool DOMINO Panel Joint - Edgeless

Summary:
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.

Festool DOMINO Frame Joint - Mitered

Summary:
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.

Festool DOMINO Frame Joint - Edgeless

Summary:
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 with the same height setting. It's as simple as that! Then glue the frame and you're done!

Festool DOMINO Attached Frame

Summary:
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.

Festool DOMINO Balustrade

Summary:
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 22 mm 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.

Festool DOMINO Gluing

Summary:
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.
