Functional Description

The Domino DF 500 Tenon Joiner is used to cut mortises in wood for floating tenon joinery. Mortise and tenon joinery is one of the oldest and strongest methods of joining pieces of wood together. The Domino tenon joiner greatly simplifies the task of cutting mating mortises in workpieces to be

connected together. A rotating and oscillating cutter sweeps across the workpiece to quickly and effortlessly cut a uniform mortise, in which a Domino floating tenon is inserted.
