• When creating stacked mortises for extra
thick lumber, an extension of the "1/3 rule"
mentioned above still applies. Specifi cally,
the distance between mortises, and the
distance between a mortise and the wood
surface should all be equal to (or larger
than) the thickness of the tenon.

Joining - Procedure

Proceed as follows to create a dowelled
joint:
– Select a Domino dowel and insert a match-
ing jointing bit in the Domino dowel joint-
er.
– Set the jointing depth. The jointing depth
must be at least 3 mm smaller than the
workpiece thickness so that the dowelled
joint is supportable.
– Set the jointing height to correspond to the
workpiece thickness.

– Mark the areas on the workpiece that be-
long together [18.1] so that you will be able
to join them correctly again once you have
cut the dowel holes.
– Position the two workpieces to be joined
against one another and mark the de-
sired positions of the dowels with a pencil
[18.2].

– Set the desired dowel-hole width [19.1].
Our recommendation: Cut the first hole
without play (dowel-hole width = Domino
dowel width), and the remaining dowel
holes to the next largest dowel-hole width.
The fi rst dowel hole therefore serves as a
reference dimension, whereas the remaining
dowel holes have tolerance for manufacturing
inaccuracies.

– Cut the fi rst dowel hole by placing the stop
pin at the side edge of the workpiece.
– Set the mortise width dial [20.1] to the next
largest dowel-hole width.
– Cut the following dowel holes according to
the pencil markings made beforehand and
the scale of the viewing window [20.2].
