Festool 494938 D 5X30/300 BU Domino

Considering what they are they seem pricey and I keep thinking they would be simple enough to make some, but I never get round to it. These are good quality and convenient. So I suppose they must be worth it!

all good

Great for quickly joining work pieces using the DF500 machine. Much quicker than messing about with dowels and just as strong, if not stronger. They are just loose tendons made of beech though and are expensive compared to dowels. Whether the 4 times cost is worth it I suppose is down to how much you value your time in doing dowels. Me, I just find dowels tedious so will pay the price until an alternative becomes available (patent expiry I guess).

Festool are purveyors of extremely expensive bits of working kit the most desirable of which is the Domino because they have the patent on it.... Fortunately they can't patent the actual wooden dowels as all us wood workers would be bankrupt.... Anyway, as I'd just bought a Domino I bought the OEM dowels to start with. I've since moved on but I did have the chance to compare. These of course are Festool ones and naturally fit perfectly into the slots as required. They come with the Festool logo embossed with some might find goes part way to justifying the price. In my case not really. However, they are good and you are getting something that is guaranteed to be the real deal with no issues. Price is the only thing to raise eyebrows really. But, if you buy Festool that comes with the territory.

I went for the Trend dominos first but they weren't the size stated. These were perfect, worth the extra to know they work consistently.

Good price and quick delivery. Literally simple dominos 5 x 30 beech tenons, not a lot you can write about these. Use them a lot to speed up batch products, recommend to others if you have the festool domino df500 or you can use a palm router or drill holes and chisel, very simple to use.

Genuine festool at fraction of cost

Happy with the price and quality will buy again not worth the fuss trying to make myself

Nada que decir festool .

Convient parfaitement pour la machine à domino Festool.

High quality, but I don’t know the rules of the game. Im no pro, but I thought they were supposed to have dots or something.

Purtroppo a volte non li troviamo nei negozi ma per fortuna qui ci sono!

Die Domino gehört zu den geilsten Maschinen, die man bei Festool kaufen kann. Auch wenn man beim ersten ansehen vielleicht mehrmals mit dem Kopf schüttelt, weil das Teil einfach ziemlich teuer ist, so wird man es als Anwender sehr schnell lieb gewinnen und nicht mehr hergeben wollen. So ist es zumindest allen die ich kenne, einschließlich mir, ergangen die sich eine Domino gekauft haben. Naja... irgendwann ist dann auch mal Zeit für neue Dübel. Ich hab meine Domino so lieb gewonnen, dass ich bereits im ersten Jahr über 1.000 Dübel dieser Größe (5x30mm) verbaut habe - als Hobbyschreiner... Es macht unheimlich Spaß vor allem die Präzision mit der man arbeitet zu bewundern. Hab mir grad mal wieder zwei Päckchen bestellt...
