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.
