Wood joinery is an awesome aspect of old school woodworking that adds artistic flair to piece of furniture or structure. Recently there has been an increased popularity in the seamless joints and advances in connector technology, both in efficiency and strength. With the right tools and techniques, you can create strong and beautiful joints that can last for generations. In this blog post, we will explore two of the best tools for wood joinery: the Festool domino and the Lamello joiner.
The Festool domino is a versatile tool that can be used for a wide range of joinery applications. It is designed to create mortise and tenon joints quickly and accurately. The domino uses a unique cutting system to create precise mortises in a fraction of the time it would take to do by hand. Use the Highly Adjustable guides to speed up repetitive processes.
One of of the key features of the Festool domino is its ability to make repeatable cuts with consistent spacing. This allows you to create joints that are perfectly aligned, which is essential for ensuring the strength and stability of your project. Additionally, the domino has a range of interchangeable cutting heads, which allows you to create mortises in a variety of sizes to suit your specific needs.
Also they have a Hardware style Connector system DF500. This system allows you to make Modular Joints to connect on the fly with a Hex tool.
The Lamello joiner is a specialized tool designed for creating biscuit joints. Biscuit joints are a type of joinery that use a thin, oval-shaped piece of wood (known as a biscuit) to join two pieces of wood together. The Lamello joiner uses a blade to cut a slot in the wood, into which the biscuit is inserted, and then glued in place. One of the bonuses of the Wood Biscuit is even if you can't afford the price that comes with these high quality joiners yet, the Biscuits are compatible with some of the other more economical options.
In addition to the standard biscuit joint, Lamello also offers a range of specialized connectors that are designed for a wide option of applications. These connectors include the Bisco plastic biscuit, Tenso Snap Connector and the Clamex tool activated connection. Check them all out Here!. One of the main features of the Lamello is how it can be a great solution for holding a glued joint together when you can't use a clamp, and making it snap into place to hold while your adhesvie cures.
