DF 500 Domino breakdown connectors

I don't get what is the point of Dominofix. Can't you just glue a regular domino onto one panel and pin it with a screw in the other exact same way and to the exact same effect, probably even stronger?
FT connectors have the benefit of pulling parts together, Dominofix does not.
 
Good point. I think it would depend on how many times one would expect to do the breakdown. Also on client's needs and what they prefer. I would feel better if the hole and what it was screwing into wasn't going to open up over time. But the fact these aren't pulling the two edges in is a good point.

I've been looking at these as well.

Agreed, Dominofix is a good option if you ship your product flat and then customer on the other end assembles it. Everything pre-drilled, no glue, no wait, no mess.
 
The Festool connectors for the DF700 have metal on metal fastening and can easily withstand frequent breakdown/reassembly. I would be worried with metal screws passing through thin plastic parts.

That said, I do not know of anyone who has used them and so I could be seeing this the wrong way.

The metal on metal of the Festool connectors is preferred. I wish they would figure it out for the DF 500 for doing 3/4 material.

There’s been some chatter that Festool is working on it and may release it in 2018 or so.
 
I know the basic idea, but I wanted the instructions to produce technical drawings for my closet system with exact hole placements, etc.

That's all.

Does anyone have the PDF instructions for these?

You effectively don't need one: watch the video once and you're ready to use the #203170 KV-SYS-D8 set systainer to build what you have in mind.

Sorry, didn't know that you needed the numbers.
Thought the general idea would be enough as most of it (except the distance from the corner for the hole created with the boaring tool) comes as a consequence of where the walls/shelves or the LR32 holes are.
