Maybe we can get some videos of stress testing as well, to give a sense of how strong the joints are?

Also one of the disassembly process.

You say pulling strength as in breaking force or how much force is applied pulling the joint up?

Pulling force to me means pulling the joint up tight.

Breaking force is what Edward was asking.

Breaking force is what Edward was asking.

We tested with creating a shelve of 600x500mm and using 6 Dominofix dowels connected to the sides and pressed 5kn. It didn't break.

With pulling force i mean trying to pull the joint open. We test one connecter with a force of 50kg and it didn't open, break or move.

I hope this is what you are looking for?

Thank you for your reply.

Maybe I should call it tigthening force/pulling tight force? Thats what Im looking for.

So will it pull a joint up? Lets say it had 1 2...3mm gap will it pull it up or do you have to make sure the joint is up tight by other methods like clamps.

Example some times sheets of ply are bowed so in the middle it might not touch so whats the max gap if any gap these dominos would pull the material uptight and if so how much force does it have for pulling the joint tight.

I have the same question in my mind. From what I can observe the joint is locking, but it's not exercising a clamping effect to "tighten" the joint. How do you avoid the loose joint "waggle" .. does the locking screw pull the joint in??

To answer the 2 questions above.
Incase your joint in not closed (for example bent sides) then we advise to use a clamp before and then use the locking screw to further tighten it.

So it has a tightening force just hasnt got the ability to pull a small gap up.  Thats fine kinda wish it had though but if the cost is low enough I dont mind temporarily using clamps or some Jmb strength to push the joint up while I tigthen the domino

It was the initial plan to have it like that, but as you said, the costs would have been enormous for that!

When is the Dominofix available?

One of the most questions asked is, when is the Dominofix available and where?

We are aiming to have it available in 3-4 months.

The reason for this is we are now also able to offer you both the 10 mm and 8 mm version of the Dominofix glue-less dowels for Festool Domino DF 500. The 8 mm version is in its final stage of having it produced.

At this moment we have send out a a few batches to carpenters to get more feedback on the user experience, we know it works but we also want that its an easy and positive asset in your work.

Minor changes if needed will still be applied after receiving that feedback.

The next step is to have the first sellable batch to be produced which takes 5-6 weeks. We will soon launch our set prices with Tanos Systainer and with the drilling jig.

The Dominofix will be available online and in local retailers. We first want to send out some samples and application samples to the retailers so you can have a closer look at the product and make sure you will be happy with it before you buy it.

For all our subscribers we will offer a discount on online purchases with the first order.

In the meanwhile, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to us!

I often use a couple of pocket screws in conjunction with regular dominos. I do this on utility pieces to avoid glue ups and bar clamps. Might this product be used for the same??

Ill deffos buy some like to try them out.  If I like them.... Illl program them into my cnc

The cnc cant cnc board edges but the hole required to fix the dominofix can be done on cnc. This together would serve as a location point for the festool domino.

Should be a good way of making units I hope.  Instead of rafix which are unsightly but can be fully proccesed on the cnc.  Soooo pros and cons.

Hi Guys
I like the idea and am willing to give them a try but at the moment can't justify the 19euro shipping cost. I'm sure there will be a UK distributor soon.
