The distinctive elongated DOMINO shape combines the advantages of a traditional loose tenon with the speed and precision of machine-cut dowelling. Unlike a conventional round dowel, the DOMINO profile is inherently resistant to rotation, immediately stabilising the components being joined. Laterally projecting guide ribs centre each DOMINO accurately within the routed mortise, while specially formed glue pockets and longitudinal grooves distribute adhesive throughout the joint and allow excess glue to escape during assembly. The compact 5 x 30 mm size is particularly useful for furniture, cabinetry, frames and lighter interior components, and is designed for the Festool DOMINO DF 500, DF 500 R and cordless DFC 500 joining machines using the appropriate 5 mm cutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eNot flat.

It immediately aligns the mating components accurately and flush to the edge. Depending on the application, following mortises can be made slightly wider so the remaining DOMINOs have a small amount of lateral assembly tolerance. This combination of one precise reference mortise and more forgiving secondary mortises is one of the reasons the DOMINO system is both accurate and fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose 5 x 30 mm?\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe D 5x30 offers a useful balance between compact dimensions and substantial joint strength.
