    Compliments of Fine Woodworking tools & materials ■ INNOVATIONS Festool joiner makes mortise- and-tenon joints as easy as biscuits rue innovations in portable power tools are rare. The random-orbit sander, the biscuit joiner, cordless technology—the big leaps forward are few and far between. Festool, a German company, stands out in recent years for reinventing a number of old faithful FEATURES tools. Readers will recall the plunge-style circular saw with the ingenious guide track, as well as a high-end cordless drill that accepts three different heads. TFestool’s latest innovation—the Domino Joiner—may be the compa- ny’s most significant. Available in April, this tool looks and operates like a biscuit joiner, but the Domino uses a spinning and oscillating (wobbling side to side) bit to cut a full mortise in a single plunge. The system employs different-size beech slip tenons. Though the largest tenons are only 3⁄8 in. thick by 7⁄8 in. wide by 2 in. long, the uniformly machined mortises and perfect-fitting tenons added up to very strong joints—strong enough for cabinet doors, drawers, face frames, many chairs, and all tables just shy of dining size. Simple, precise setup. A movable fence (left) has detents at But the real sizzle here is speed. I assembled an entire table, with common angles and a series of vertical stops. Alignment pins two slip tenons at each joint (32 mortises in all), in about half an hour, on the front of the tool (right) locate mortises a set distance with perfect alignment of parts.

I can’t remember the last time the woodworking community has been so abuzz about a new tool as I have seen with the eminent release of the Festool Domino® Tenon Joiner. So what’s the buzz all about? Well imagine being able to cut mortises for mortise and tenon joinery as easily as using a biscuit joiner. While a biscuit is loosely considered a spline, a Domino is a true floating tenon. The Domino tenon joiner is a revolutionary The primary distinction is the orientation of and evolutionary tool for the woodshop that the grain and the depth of the penetration. cuts mortise slots for mortise and tenon The wood grain of a biscuit is slightly off- joinery.

  • Making Stub-Tenon Doors

    Making Stub-Tenon Doors

    Making Stub-tenon Doors The stub-tenon joint will never be the super- hero of your joinery arsenal because it doesnʼt have the stuff necessary to be a strong joint. The mating parts are short (hence the “stub” moniker) and itʼs housed on only two sides: the face cheeks of the tenon. There is sufficient glue surface, but the cross-grain orientation compromises the glue joint. In the pantheon of woodworking joints, the stub-tenon joint may be more accurately described as a 90-pound weakling. But even so, this can be sufficient for smaller, lightweight doors that donʼt take a lot of abuse. For example, you wouldnʼt choose this joint for kitchen cabinet doors or built-ins for the kidsʼ playroom. But itʼs OK to use a stub-tenon door for a vanity cabinet or for a project thatʼs built as much for looks as it is for service. Once a door weighs more than four or five pounds, or is larger than 18" x 24", you must abandon the stub-tenon joint for a more substantial one. Mortise-and-tenon construction, dowels, loose tenons and even biscuit joints are superior choices for larger, heavier doors. So why use a stub-tenon joint? Well, itʼs easy to make because it requires a minimal amount of setup time regardless of the method you choose to cut the joint. Itʼs usually cut with a router in a table or on the table saw using a stack dado set. The ease of setup is because the same groove thatʼs cut to receive the panel doubles as the groove for the stub tenon.
