Unlike conventional round dowels, the elongated DOMINO profile provides a much larger cross-section and is inherently resistant to rotation, immediately stabilising the components being joined. Laterally projecting guide ribs centre each DOMINO accurately inside 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 6 x 40 mm size is designed specifically for the Festool DOMINO DF 500, DF 500 R and cordless DFC 500 joining machines using the appropriate 6 mm cutter. Manufactured from FSC™-certified beech, these DOMINOs are ideal for interior furniture making, cabinetmaking, shopfitting, exhibition construction and professional joinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eNot flat.

The first mortise is normally routed to the exact width and serves as the reference that aligns the workpieces. Depending on the application, following mortises can be routed wider to provide a small amount of lateral tolerance. The first DOMINO keeps the components accurately positioned while the wider mortises make larger assemblies much easier to put together.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose 6 x 40 mm?\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 6 x 40 mm size provides greater joint capacity than smaller 4 mm and 5 mm DOMINOs while remaining within the compact DF 500 system.
