FAQs

What is FSC-certified beechwood?

FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification ensures the wood comes from responsibly managed forests, promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility.

What is the purpose of the glue grooves?

The glue grooves increase the surface area for the glue to bond, enhancing the strength and durability of the joint.

Can I use these tenons with a standard drill and dowel jig?

No, these tenons are designed for use with a router and mortice jig or the Festool® Domino morticing system for precise mortise creation.

How do I choose the correct tenon size?

These are 8 x 40mm. Select based on the project requirements and joint design. Always ensure the mortise is sized to accommodate the tenon snugly.

How should I store the loose tenons?

Store them in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, to preserve their dimensional stability.

What kind of glue should I use?

Use a high-quality wood glue appropriate for the wood being joined. Follow the glue manufacturer's instructions for application and drying times.

What if the tenons are too tight?

If the tenons are too tight, slightly sand down the edges or the tenon's thickness to achieve a good fit, or slightly enlarge the mortise.

Troubleshooting

Joints are not aligned properly.

Double-check the accuracy of your mortise cuts and ensure the tenons fit snugly. Make sure your mortise jig is properly calibrated.

Joints are not strong enough.

Ensure you are using high-quality wood glue. Apply a sufficient amount of glue to both the tenon and the mortise. Allow adequate time for the glue to dry completely before applying any stress to the joint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Setup: Ensure you have either a router and mortice jig or a Festool® Domino morticing system. Set up the mortising machine or jig according to the manufacturer's instructions. Select the appropriate mortise size based on the 8 x 40mm tenon dimensions.
  2. Compatibility: These tenons are specifically designed for use with a router and mortice jig or the Festool® Domino morticing system. Ensure the tools you're using are compatible with these tenons' size and shape.
  3. Care: Store the tenons in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. When cutting the mortises, use sharp bits to ensure clean and accurate cuts. Apply wood glue evenly to the tenon and the mortise for optimal bonding.
