A domino joiner is a handheld power tool that mills oval mortises for loose-tenon joinery, combining the strength of mortise-and-tenon construction with the speed of biscuit joining.
A pendulum cutting motion swings the bit side to side inside the workpiece, milling a precise, well-fitting mortise sized to match the oval Domino tenon you plan to use.
Yes, it speeds up cutting mortise-and-tenon joints compared with hand-cutting or a hollow-chisel mortiser, which makes it useful for anyone building furniture with that joint regularly.
The set includes the Domino DF 500 joiner, the cutter, a support bracket, a Systainer SYS3 M 187 case, trim and cross stops, an open-ended wrench and a 4-metre Plug-it power cable.
It cuts mortises for Domino tenons from 4mm × 20mm up to 10mm × 50mm, in beech or weatherproof sipo.
