2. The domino. The shape makes the difference.
Not flat. Not round. Just domino.
The difference is in the detail. More precisely: in
the shape. Dominos unify all of the benefits of
round dowels and biscuits. And are therefore as
stable as mortise and tenon. They are available
in 14 fixed sizes or as rods – for both inside and
outside, and for delicate and solid workpieces.
Round dowels
The traditional solution for frames and racks.
Round dowels are one of the most important connecting
elements in furniture making, allowing timber connections
to be quickly and reliably aligned. Because round dowels
do not allow offsets, exact drilling is generally performed
on stationary or semi-stationary machines.
Biscuits
The standard for boards for decades.
Biscuits are quick and always used with manually
operated machines, pencil marks are used to position
them. Because the biscuits are shorter than routed
slots, a slight offset during routing is not a problem.
The joint is movable, however this advantage is off set
by the additional position during gluing up.
