Loose Tenon Basics [video 481]

[@brianpatmore8418]

Hi Peter, I do have the domino, which is great. I bought an Aldi Ferrex biscuit jointer for $40.00 Australian as a bit of an adventure. Although not terribly precise, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it is. I joined a pair of bench tops with it and was most pleased with it in the hardwood (beech.) That jig looks fascinating and I bet it has a few little tricks in it. Can't wait for the video to come out. All the best mate, Cheers, Brian

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks Brian! I have the Aldi biscuit jointer myself! Works well, though the fence is bizarre! 👍

Lovely video. Draw bores in order to work need mortice only drilled first, assembled/tenon marked/disassembled then tenon offset drilled nearer the joint for it to pull the joint tight.

[@thedieiscast9729]

In the 1960 I worked for a door manufacturer who used loose tenons on all of his products. The top rail had one at each joint the mid and bottom rails two. A casein glue was used. periodically he would test a door to destruction . The joints were incredibly strong.

As the domino was outside of my price range during my years making cabinets then the dowel and the biscuit were my go to fixings. Then got to grips with the hafele dowel and cam fixings which made flat pack a real option for site assembly. The idea of a loose tenon jig would be a game changer if I was starting out today.

[@PSjustanormalguy]

Australian pricing for the domino DF500 joiner is AU$1775, or just over £1000. Gotta love the Australia tax put on by almost every tool manufacturer

[@garnerboyd4206]

A lot of times these guys that compare the strength of the Domino joint over the dowel joint are comparing one Domino to one dowel, true the Domino going to be the strongest. Apples to oranges comparison size wises. To be fair, two dowel joint 3/8 is more comparable to a one Domino joint 3/8 joint. I've seen many and have done these test my self. Both tested around 800 to 1,000lbs breaking point and then the wood broke before joint. Besides that if your not sure, just add another dowel are so while your drilling, no big dill LOL. Here is the real truth, the Domino's system is faster and simpler, that's it! Oh ya, and a lot more expensive. You pay for that speed and simplicity. If your in a real business, are you just need the latest and greatest and got the money go for it. Then you can have bragging rights on speed and simplicity, but don't get carried away on how much stronger than anything else trying to justify this purchase. This can be a point of diminishing return on your tool investment.

You didn't mention Fox wedging the stub tenon, no clamping required

[@carloduroni5629]

Not a cabinet maker myself but... If a dowel has half the glueing surface of a loose tenon, why not placing TWICE the number of dowels. I suspect the cost will always be lower than a Festool solution. An alternative - much stronger than a loose tenon, I'm sure: carve a looong slot with a router and place a looong strip of wood in it.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

But also twice the amount of work. And the most expensive component is the nut that’s holding the tool! 👍👍

I was quite interested in your early comments aout the history of tennons and loose tennons. I wonder if I played a small part in that. One thing that I thing people miss is that there are often inspitational ideas in the past.

[@joemclauchlan1974]

when changing the domino settings, from tight to loose to very loose, remember they can only be change while the machine is running, something i forget all the time

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Nonsense. That’s for numpties with no idea of how gearboxes work, who try to force it to change when static and wonder why it jams. Anyone with an ounce of mechanical sense can figure that out. 🤷‍♂️

[@johnridout8766]

Thank you for this informative video. At last I understand that when you talk about wide and narrow slots, you mean, what I would call, long and short slots. For me, the width of the slot is always 8mm or whatever. When you do your jig video next week, it would be great if you could include some links to retailers of suitable router bits, eg 8mm upward spiral bits.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks. I always use the bit size as the thickness, the side-to-side dimension as the width, and the depth of the plunge. And yes, there’ll be a starter pack available with a 5mm spiral upcut bit, some dominos and the option of a Trend 18mm guide bush. Links to other bits etc… as well of course.

[@cuebj]

@@10MinuteWorkshop Looking forward to it. Got a Trend T4 ready to set up as a budget Festool Domino slot cutter the moment you started talking about the jig. The T4 is not made to Trend historical big router quality. Had to take it apart to improve threads and and plunging smoothness.

[@aaronharris5275]

Good point about the glue surface area of the simple dowel. But I suppose you could add a lot more dowels to increase the strength. I do like the festool but still out of reach for the home maker like me. I think Get Hands Dirty made some kind of router jig. I wander if a morticer machine could work and ripping up strips of ply for loose tenons? Good history lesson there too!

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

[@alyc9473]

Hi Peter I'm really interested in your loose tenon jig, and not wishing to jump ahead of next weeks video can I ask a couple of questions. Will the jig work with 15mm ply, I'm going to be building some lightweight ply cabinets for my sons campervan. Is it possible to use a palm router rather then a full size machine with the jig. Thanks Kev keep up the excellent work.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Hi. It’s set for 18mm but you can use it with 15/12mm by using shims to centre it, and with 22/25mm though obvs the doms will be off-centre at those thicknesses. With 15mm you’ll have to reduce the plunge depth to 12/12 or so, and you’d need to cut the dominos down to 24mm, or accept the less than ideal option of a 12/18 plunge. Palm router is fine, but it needs to be in a plunge base. 👍👍

Loose tenons are certainly a great way to do joinery. For those of us that can't afford a Festool, Rockler's beadlock system works very well. I have used it successfully with tables and cabinets. Yes, it is slower than a Festool machine but it is also only about $50 to get the system. Good video! Thanks Peter.

Can't wait to see the jig! I bought the larger domino machine and was horrified at the price, it's even more now. But having said that it's worth every penny. I've since bought the Seneca adapter that allows me to use the cutters for the smaller machine I have grave doubts about festools business model but their tools are first class. Especially when you think the Domino machine replaces a morticer and a tenoner and lives in its box when not in use

Very interesting, thanks. I'm surprised you didn't mention biscuits.I'm an very occasional woodworker and I've found that they work well.

[@jasonm.7358]

Great video, Peter, as always. I’ll have to pick up the jig, when I can. Two questions (darn engineers). I’ve also read that “the round ends of the tenon add no strength”, to which I ask “then how does a dowel add any strength, it’s all rounded end?” I’m sure I’m missing something. Other question was, does it ever make sense to pin the domino by shooting a pin or brad through one or both ends of the domino once the joint is assembled? Seems like it would add some strength, though it won’t pull the joint together.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks Jason. Dowels get their strength from being a tight fit - as I show in the vid, 6mm dowel in a 6mm hole and it’s very strong. But there’s no wiggle room, it’s a joint that demands precision. Because loose tennis get their strength from the faces of the tenon, the slightly wider slot doesn’t affect the strength. And yes, not uncommon to pin through a domino - means you can take it out of clamps sooner. 👍👍

[@EcoHamletsUK]

I bought a bench morticer years ago, but have never used it. I'm currently setting up my new improved workshop, and was hoping to start using it, but it won't drill mortices in the ends of long bits of wood. Maybe I'll have to learn to make olde fashioned mortices and tenons! At least I've now got a bandsaw to help me!

[@ZenoErwt]

What model do you have ? Perhaps something can be changed to make it able to drill mortises at the end of long pieces

[@WinoSnip]

Dear Peter, nice and clear video again! If someone is looking for a cheaper loose tenon solution, then a Lamello router could be mentioned. Not with the pins but fast to operate. There are Lamello routers from many brands, not only from Lamello - and some are really low cost. What I recall of the loose tenon history from the recent past is that it actually was Lamello who started with hand held tools for this purpose. The fact that the (earlier) cheap chip wood (material) is quite unsuitable for dowels (the quality of the material is too poor), that initiated the development of the Lamello as well, as I understood. Another detail: the pins which your Domino router has (and mine) are only on the older Dominos. The newer ones do have some kind of plastic wedge like spring loaded thingie. Reason is that these pins were / are patented by Mafell for their Duo Doweler machine (DDF40 / DD40). Therefore the newer Domino routers have to do without (see the Festool site). We have been playing with the idea to make a comparison between the Festool Domino, Mafell Duo Doweler and the Lamello Classic X - maybe one day… Kind regards, Wino

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks Wino! I did a video comparing the Domino, the Lamello Zeta and the Mafell doweller; biscuit jointers are slightly different -less so for cabinetry - but you couldn't use one for the T-joint I showed as a mortice and tenon, whereas the Domino or dowels would be fine. 👍

Picky Yank here, the assembly of both oversize slots, Why not put the Domi's in the horizontal one rather than the moveable one?

[@MrMartinburgar]

Hello Peter enjoy all you're vids, I have a double dowel machine from mcalister a b&q brand had it for many years and used with good success IF you take one of the drills out and if you drill the hole twice moving the drill from one side of the pencil line to the other that way you can get a spot of lateral movement and you can drill half holes in a row to get the festool domino's to work

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks Martin! Haven’t seen a MacAllister branded doweller, but pretty sure it’s out of the same mould as the Triton; I bought three of those and returned them all. I do take your point about lateral movement to give a bit of wiggle room, but my point still stands - that dowels get their strength from close contact all around the circumference of the dowel - widening the hole laterally will make a weaker joint, because the only points I’d contact are either side of the dowel where it touches, not all around. 👍👍

I had a short section that referenced it, but cut it as it just muddied the water. This isn’t ‘my 5 favourite jointing methods’ it’s a basic explainer I’d loose tenons, and a biscuit jointer couldn’t make the T-joint where I used the M&T and Loose tenon; a Domino and a dowel could though. 👍👍
