Festool 493298 Domino Tenon, Beech Wood, 8 X 22 X 40mm, 780-Pack

Description

Product Overview

The Festool Domino Tenon system is a cornerstone for modern joinery, delivering a reliable method for creating floating tenon joints without the need for complex doweling or traditional mortise and tenon techniques. Each pack contains 780 meticulously machined beech wood tenons, each measuring 8 × 22 × 40 mm. The beech wood is selected for its natural strength, stability, and fine grain, which provides an ideal substrate for glue penetration and long‑term durability. The tenons are slightly shorter than the nominal length, allowing a small glue pocket within the mortise that ensures a tight, gap‑free bond. Their flat, elongated profile resists rotation during assembly, guaranteeing perfect alignment for both edge and face gluing. The set is packaged in a compact, reusable container that protects the pieces from moisture and damage, making it an excellent choice for both on‑site work and workshop inventory.

Usage

These beech tenons excel in a wide range of woodworking projects. Furniture makers rely on them for constructing sturdy chairs, tables, and cabinets where hidden strength is essential. Cabinetmakers appreciate the clean, precise joints that allow for seamless veneer application and flawless surface finishes. Frame builders use the tenons for door and window frames, where the ability to accommodate slight movement without compromising joint integrity is critical. The tenons are also ideal for decorative casework, shelving, and any application that demands a strong, invisible joint. Because the tenons are pre‑shaped and feature embossed glue pockets, they reduce set‑up time and eliminate the guesswork associated with traditional mortise‑and‑tenon joinery. Whether you are a professional woodworker or a serious hobbyist, the Domino Tenon system streamlines the process, improves repeatability, and enhances the overall quality of your work.
