Description

Festool 494940 DOMINO Tenons D 8×40/130 BU, 8×40 mm

The Festool 494940 is a pack of 130 solid beech DOMINO tenons, size 8 x 22 x 40 mm, made as loose (floating) tenons for the Festool DOMINO DF 500 and DOMINO XL DF 700 joiners. Each tenon fits a mortise cut by the matching 8 mm DOMINO cutter, giving a strong, self-aligning glue joint for furniture, cabinetry and frame work. The 130-count pack is a practical size for a shop that uses this tenon on regular jobs or wants to keep it on hand.

Features and Specifications

• Festool code: D 8×40/130 BU
• Size: 8 x 22 x 40 mm (8 mm thick, 40 mm nominal length)
• Material: solid beech hardwood, FSC-certified per Festool
• 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: 130 tenons per pack
• For: Festool DOMINO DF 500 and DOMINO XL DF 700 joiners

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 8 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.
