Domino DF 500 Tenon Joiner
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.
