Manufactured from Sipo mahogany, these 8 x 40 mm DOMINO dowels are resistant to insect and mould attack and are particularly well suited to exterior woodworking where ordinary beech DOMINOs would not be the ideal choice. Their distinctive elongated cross-section combines the advantages of round and flat dowels, creating an exceptionally stable joint that is secured against rotation from the very first DOMINO. Specially formed glue pockets and longitudinal grooves distribute adhesive efficiently through the joint while also providing paths for excess glue to escape, helping achieve reliable bonding and clean assembly. Supplied in a generous box of 390 pieces, this pack is ideal for professional joinery, exterior furniture, shopfitting and production work using compatible Festool DOMINO joining machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eWeatherproof DOMINO strength for outdoor joinery\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eFestool Sipo DOMINOs are the outdoor-focused alternative to standard beech DOMINOs.

Festool states that the cross-section of a DOMINO corresponds to approximately three round dowels of the same drilling diameter, helping create an exceptionally stable joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch4\u003eHow do the glue grooves work?\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe moulded glue pockets and longitudinal grooves help distribute adhesive around the DOMINO and along the walls of the mortise. The side grooves also allow excess glue to escape when the joint is pressed together, reducing hydraulic pressure and helping the dowel seat fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch4\u003ePerfect alignment from the first DOMINO\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe guide ribs on the sides of the DOMINO centre it within the routed mortise. Combined with an accurately routed first mortise, this immediately positions the workpieces relative to one another and helps keep adjoining edges aligned during assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Pro Tip --\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"tip-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch4\u003ePro Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n  \u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eUse an exterior-grade adhesive suitable for both the timber and expected environmental exposure when making outdoor joints.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eApply glue to the mortise walls as well as the DOMINO where appropriate to ensure complete adhesive coverage.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eUse the tight mortise setting for the first locating DOMINO and wider settings for subsequent mortises where a little assembly tolerance is useful.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eMake sure the mortise depth is correctly set so the 40 mm DOMINO has sufficient clearance when the two components are brought together.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eKeep Sipo DOMINOs dry and clean before use so that dirt or contamination does not interfere with adhesive bonding.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eFor high-load or weather-exposed structural work, always design the entire joint around the loads, timber species, adhesive and environmental conditions rather than relying on the DOMINO alone.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- How to use --\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-instructions\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n  \u003cul class=\"numbered-list\"\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eMark the required joint positions on both workpieces.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eFit the appropriate 8 mm DOMINO cutter to the compatible Festool DOMINO joining machine.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eSet the correct mortise depth for the 40 mm long DOMINO and the thickness of the components being joined.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eRoute the first mortise accurately using the machine's locating system or reference stops.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eRoute the matching mortise in the second component.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eWhere several DOMINOs are used, select the appropriate mortise width settings to provide the required combination of precision and assembly tolerance.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eApply a suitable adhesive to the mortises and DOMINOs.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eInsert the Sipo DOMINOs fully into one side of the joint.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eBring the mating component into position and press the joint together until the workpieces seat correctly.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eClamp securely and allow the adhesive to cure according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Saddle Creek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67502427406626,"sku":"FES494861","price":2658.8,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/saddlecreek.co.za\/products\/festool-d-8x40-390-mau-sipo-domino-dowels-8-x-40mm-390-piece","provider":"Saddle Creek","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
