DOMINO jointing system

Proven connection with the DOMINO system

Every timber joint has its advantages. The DOMINO Jointing system consisting of a Joining machine and DOMINO dowels combines them all. The unique pendulum routing movement of the DOMINO router cuts precise, torsion-proof slotted holes. The DOMINO dowel combines the stability of mortise and tenon joints with the flexibility of flat dowels. Ideally suited for filigree or solid workpieces indoors and outdoors.

Not flat. Not round. Simply DOMINO.

DOMINO dowels combine the precision of round dowels with the flexibility of flat dowels. The special shape with glue pockets and longitudinal grooves ensures a secure hold and twist-proof connections. They are available in different dimensions for filigree or solid workpieces.

Unique pendulum milling principle.

The milling movement is unique among hand-held machines: The simultaneous rotation and oscillation of the milling tool enables smooth operation.

Innovative stop system.

A major advantage of the stop system is the time saved. The machine is positioned quickly and precisely using stop pins, saving you time-consuming measuring or marking.

Unique DOMINO system.

The DOMINO system consists of dowels in two different types of wood for indoor and outdoor use as well as machine accessories such as round and Trim stops to expand your range of applications. The connecting fittings provide you with the usual stable connections and can be quickly released again if required.

WORK
Everywhere, all the time – part 2

We visit Wolters B.V., about one and a half hours east of Amsterdam, a large painting enterprise with more than 100 employees. At its headquarters in Deventer, projects throughout the entire country are prepared and coordinated. Extensive painting work is carried out in the large plant hall and the modern spray booth. But mainly the Wolters teams have to be ready at any time and have everything they need for their work, no matter where they are.

WORK
At home with makers
Hafven in Hanover is a fertile breeding ground for creative makers and all those aspiring to be just that. The co-working and makerspace recently celebrated its first birthday – with a table football set. Self-built, of course.
WORK
One man and his rocking chair
For years, Michael Möllmann had been dreaming of a rocking chair like the one owned by US President John F. Kennedy. Together with joiner Karsten Schillings, this dream became a reality. The professional and the layman worked together as a team to complete the project.
WORK
From theory to practice
From theory to practice: Clarissa Kellermann is completing a practical semester at Karsten Schillings' joinery workshop. Over the course of this semester, they produced the Tria Omada furniture series. The Festool Domino DF 500 and 700 joining machines proved to be the ideal companion for this project.
