Woodworkers and trim carpenters know about dowels and biscuits as faster, more modern ways to create what amounts to a mortise-and-tenon joint. But they’re not quite real mortises or tenons — the time-tested technique for holding together furniture, gates, and case work.
When you need a tenon — for something that’ll get some abuse, such as a gate or table — or when you just want a strong joint in a smaller woodworking assembly, Festoon’s new DF 500 Q Domino Joiner may be the way of things to come. Festool says their domino joints are faster, easier and stronger than dowels and biscuits. The system consists of the Domino joiner and pre-fabricated beech tenons. The tool’s revolutionary cutting method, simple indexing and adjustable mortise sizing make for flawless mortises every time — and they are far stronger than dowels and biscuits.
