Corded biscuit and domino joiners are designed for making precise slots in boards to accept wooden biscuits or domino tenons.  Adjustable fences, tilt angles and depth settings allow accurate alignment for strong, invisible joints.  Corded models supply consistent power for high volume production.

What’s the difference between a biscuit joiner and a domino joiner?

• A biscuit joiner cuts crescent-shaped slots for inserting compressed wood biscuits, which swell with glue to create strong, aligned joints—ideal for edge-joining panels, cabinetry, and shelves.

• A domino joiner (e.g. Festool Domino) cuts mortise-like slots for oval-shaped domino tenons, offering much stronger, more accurate, and structural joints—ideal for tables, frames, chairs, and heavy-duty furniture.

Why choose a corded joiner over a cordless one?

Corded biscuit and domino joiners offer:

• Consistent power and speed—ideal for extended or high-volume joinery work

• No battery downtime, making them reliable for shop environments

• Often more power and cutting depth, especially in dense hardwoods
  They're best for users working in dedicated workspaces or those needing precision and endurance over portability.

What should I look for in a biscuit or domino joiner?

Key features include:

• Depth adjustment for different biscuit or tenon sizes (e.g. #0, #10, #20 or 4–10 mm dominoes)

• Fence tilt and height adjustment for angled or edge joints

• Dust extraction compatibility for cleaner cuts and better visibility

• Durable plunge mechanism and precise alignment stops
  For domino joiners, also consider cutter size compatibility and tenon stock availability.
