Using and testing the new Festool DOMINO XL corner and surface connectors for the first time.

This is exactly the video I've been looking everywhere for! Great info!

[craigroberts]

Excellent detail and Speed for an overview. Standing on arm sold me on solidity of the knock-down joint. Well done.

Just purchased a Domino and inside came a sample pack of the connectors. After watching your clip I'm definitely going to give them a shot. Thanks

Hi, the first video I've watched of yours and I subbed, there's too many woodwork videos where the person making them love the sound of their own voice! Yours are quick and to the point! Good work!

[bmxerever]

Great demo! I only use their plunge saw w/ dust extractor at the moment, but they just sent me promo material for the Domino system, so thought I'd take a look. You've explained it very well and it does look good. Definitely one for the furniture makers.

Thank you! Searched High and Low for a good video on how these were installed. You are the man.

[XaeroR]

Yep. You just sold me on the XL. I was on the fence about which one to buy, but this makes the answer easy.

Awesome! I just ordered the XL700 so I’m trying to watch every possible video of people using it On YT. Looking forward to getting it and building my first project.

That's amazing quality and strength. Worth it.

Thank yiou for this, you might not have a fancy film studio, but your video is more informative than Festool's own. They don't seem to publish any figures on the strength or pull out forces - it obviously depends on the type of timer used, but I can't seem to find even guide figures. Standing on the joint as a cantilever is fairly convincing though - I want to use for stair treads, at least you've given me some confidence they might be suited to this.

Thanks for the real world test...you convinced me to use them on the bed frame that i am going to build!

[charlesthomas]

Wish I could figure out where to get those blister packs with one hardware set in them!

[josiahutah]

For the anchor side, do you see any reason why routing to a 50mm depth rather than 25mm would be a problem? I'm designing a table and I like to minimize any machine changes or calibrations during the process.

[PD]

Great video. Can't wait to try these when available.

[stevalty]

Nice video. I have an XL I have never used and a bed project coming up. Hmmm ... Thanks!

[hinduspl]

+Tweakwood that was great. What are your thoughts about festool domino as a user ?

[Kopsu]

These are like a beast-mode version of those chinsy quick-connectors that comes with IKEA furniture.

No matter how much I like these, the price is too much for me. Local vendor sells 32pack for 120eur.. and that is a discount price :)

[ThekiBoran]

I have the 500. The 500 and 700 dominos are the only Festool products I would purchase again. Their other stuff is overpriced for what you get, and I have about $5G of their stuff.

[StefanoilFalegname]

hi! you are a festool fan like me,   I made a quick rewiew of this connectors too! their're great! are you from Nederland? I'm Italian. Ciao!

[sorinhodosan]

Great system but can't wait to see if they'll bring the domino 500 connectors out!! What do you think, any chance? Cheers
