Connect with precision, stability, and versatility: the cordless DOMINO.

Every wooden joint has its perks. The DOMINO jointing system, which includes a cordless joining machine and DOMINO dowels, brings them all together. The unique pendulum routing motion of the DOMINO creates precise, twist-proof elongated holes. The DOMINO dowel combines the strength of slotted and tenon joints with the flexibility of flat dowels. It's perfect for both delicate and sturdy pieces in the home and outdoors. Plus, the cordless version with its comfy spade handle gives you extra ease without any cables to worry about.

  • Independent: 100% mobile with battery – whether you're in the workshop or on-site.
  • Ergonomic: Work without fatigue thanks to the comfy handle.
  • Precise: One-of-a-kind pendulum milling principle for accurate, effortless work.
  • Quick and easy: Built-in stop pins for repeating dowel placement.
  • Stable: Super stable and twist-proof joints thanks to the unique shape of the DOMINO dowel.
  • Versatile: DOMINO plugs come in various sizes from 4 x 20 mm to 10 x 50 mm and in two types of wood for indoor and outdoor use.
  • Sorted: The routing depths are just right for the dowel lengths and panel materials.
  • Flexible: The DOMINO core connectors and furniture fittings let you create sturdy furniture setups that can be taken apart again.
  • System: Accessories are a perfect fit for the whole DOMINO system.
