Precision Meets Power — The DOMINO Joining System

Every strong build starts with a strong joint. The Festool DOMINO Joiner combines a unique pendulum milling action with oval-shaped DOMINO Tenons to deliver fast, clean mortises and twist-proof connections — whether you're building fine furniture, cabinetry, or outdoor structures. Built-in indexing pins and preset routing depths eliminate guesswork, so you spend less time setting up and more time building. With tenon sizes from 4 x 20 mm to 10 x 50 mm in beech or weatherproof sipo, DOMINO is ready for any material, any environment, and any challenge. From the first cut to final assembly, DOMINO helps you connect with confidence.

Tenon Materials Beech for indoor work; Sipo for outdoor builds — weatherproof, insect-resistant, and mold-resistant
Routing Depths Preset at 12, 15, 20, 25, or 28 mm — each matched to tenon size and panel thickness for a dialed-in fit
Miter Angle Range Adjustable from 0° to 90° for perfect miters and tight glue-ups

Main Applications

  • ✔ Solid wood frame construction and structural joinery
  • ✔ Cabinet and furniture panel joinery across a wide range of materials
  • ✔ Clean, stable miter joints with adjustable angles from 0° to 90°
  • ✔ Thin stock joinery down to 12 mm for drawers and detail work
  • ✔ Curved and round profile joinery using the handrail fence
  • ✔ Modular builds with removable DOMINO corner connectors
  • ✔ Indoor and outdoor projects with material-matched tenons

The Perfect Tool for Your Trade

No matter your trade or project scope, the DOMINO system is engineered to save time, reduce callbacks, and produce joints that hold up for the long haul. Here's what sets it apart:

Strong, Rotation-Proof Joints

The oval-shaped DOMINO Tenon locks in tight and resists rotation — delivering solid, long-lasting connections every time. Expanding glue pockets and side grooves ensure a secure, twist-proof fit from the very first tenon. No need to wrestle workpieces into alignment — the joint does the work for you.

Fast, Repeatable Setup

Four built-in indexing pins and preset routing depths make alignment fast and foolproof. Position from a reference edge or an existing mortise, and group tenons together for added strength when you need it. Spend less time measuring and more time building.

Smooth, Precise Mortising

The DOMINO's pendulum cutting motion combines rotation and swing to carve clean, elongated mortises with minimal effort. Reduced heat buildup means your cutters stay sharp longer — saving you money and downtime over the life of the tool.

Versatile for Any Project

From thin drawer stock at just 12 mm and delicate miters to thick panels and heavy-duty outdoor builds, DOMINO handles it all. Choose beech tenons for interior work or weatherproof sipo tenons for outdoor applications that resist insects and mold.

Permanent or Removable Connections

DOMINO connectors are tough, adjustable, and easy to disassemble — perfect for modular cabinets, frames, and furniture that may need to move or reconfigure. Build it strong today, take it apart tomorrow.

Dialed-In Depths & Custom Fit

Choose from preset routing depths of 12, 15, 20, 25, or 28 mm — each matched to your tenon size and panel thickness. Start with a snug mortise for your first joint, then switch to a slightly wider setting for the rest. That small amount of play helps correct misalignment and keeps your final assembly perfectly flush.

Miters Made Easy

Set your mortising angle anywhere from 0° to 90° for clean, durable miter joints and tight glue-ups. DOMINO takes the stress out of angled joinery so you get perfect results without the fuss.

Dust-Free Mortising

DOMINO creates chips fast — and a lot of them. Connect a Festool mobile dust extractor to keep your workspace clean, your cuts precise, and your lungs protected on every job.

System-Matched Accessories

Whether you're joining round or square stock, DOMINO accessories deliver consistent spacing and strong frame joints. Every accessory is designed to integrate seamlessly with the full DOMINO lineup — so your system grows with your work.
