Description

Festool 493297 DOMINO Tenons D 6×40/1140 BU, 6×40 mm

The Festool 493297 is a pack of 1140 solid beech DOMINO tenons, size 6 x 20 x 40 mm, made as loose (floating) tenons for the Festool DOMINO DF 500 joiner. Each tenon fits a mortise cut by the matching 6 mm DOMINO cutter, giving a strong, self-aligning glue joint for furniture, cabinetry and frame work. The bulk 1140-count box suits production shops and cabinet lines that use this size every day.

Features and Specifications

• Size: 6 x 20 x 40 mm (6 mm thick, 40 mm nominal length)

• Shape: flat, elongated profile that resists rotating, so parts stay aligned during edge and face gluing
• Glue pockets: embossed glue pockets and lateral grooves spread adhesive and give excess glue somewhere to go
• Glue space: each tenon is about 2 mm shorter than its nominal length to leave room for glue in the mortise
• Quantity: 1140 tenons per pack
• For: Festool DOMINO DF 500 joiner

Where This Size Fits

This is a general cabinet and furniture size, used for face frames, carcass joints, chair and table rails, doors and panel alignment on stock of typical cabinet thickness. Set the DOMINO depth so the two mortises together are slightly deeper than the tenon is long, and match the cutter diameter to the 6 mm tenon thickness. The tenons work in both solid wood and plywood.

Tips for Clean Joints

Dry-fit the first joint of a job before you glue. Put glue in the mortise walls rather than only on the tenon, then close and clamp the joint promptly. Keep the box closed and store tenons in a dry place so they do not take on moisture and swell, which makes them hard to seat.
