Functions

Built for precision. Engineered for stability. Powered by freedom—the cordless DOMINO.

Strong joints. No cords. Ready for any job. The DOMINO system makes wood joints that hold tight and last. Its special cutting motion creates twist-proof holes that fit DOMINO Tenons perfectly. Stronger Connections: DOMINO Tenons lock in like a mortise-and-tenon, with the adjustability of biscuits and the strength of dowels. That means perfect alignment and solid hold—great for cabinets, tables, and even outdoor builds. Cordless Freedom: The new cordless DOMINO lets you move freely without cords getting in the way. The D-handle gives you control and comfort, even on long jobs. Fast and Steady: Built-in indexing points make alignment quick and easy. Whether you're joining trim or building big frames, DOMINO helps you work faster and smarter. Built for Pros: From the shop to the job site, DOMINO helps you work smarter and build better.

  • Go Anywhere: 100% cordless—work in the shop or on-site without being tied down.
  • Work Comfortably: The ergonomic handle helps you stay in control without wearing you out.
  • Cut with Precision: The pendulum cutting motion makes clean, accurate mortises every time.
  • Save Time: Built-in indexing pins make repeat mortise placement fast and easy.
  • Stronger Joints: DOMINO Tenons are twist-proof and super stable thanks to their unique shape.
  • Fits Your Build: Tenons come in different sizes and wood types for indoor and outdoor use.
  • Dialed In: Routing depths match tenon lengths and panel thickness—no guesswork.
  • Build It Your Way: DOMINO connectors let you make strong furniture that can be taken apart when needed.
  • All-in-One System: Every accessory fits perfectly with the DOMINO lineup.
