Bar stock can be individually cut to the required dowel length. The cross-section of a Domino dowel corresponds to that of three round dowels of the same drill diameter, making it extremely stable in comparison. The lateral guide ribs center the dowel in the middle of the Domino mortise, ensuring perfect alignment of the workpieces. Specially shaped glue pockets and longitudinal grooves distribute the glue evenly for an optimal connection. Excess glue can escape through the lateral longitudinal grooves. It is 100% twist-proof from the very first Domino dowel. The unique shape, combined with the swelling glue pockets and longitudinal grooves, provides the dowels with a secure hold. This ensures absolutely twist-proof connections and maximum stability. Additionally, it allows for significantly faster processing: the first dowel hole is very easily aligned and precisely routed using stop flaps. It immediately fixes the workpieces to be joined exactly and flush to the edge. The Domino system also tolerates minor inaccuracies in the subsequent dowel holes.
