Festool Domino Machine Instruction Manual - page 73

  The photos on this page show more de-

tail.  One interesting thing about this con-

struction technique is if you don’t glue the 

leg to top plate tenons you can take the 

whole assembly apart if you ever need to 

just by removing the screws.

Look closely at the large photo.  Again 

the top plate is removed so you can see 

the details better.  The frame will remain 

stationary.  The skirt, table top, leg and 

torsion box fillers (red arrow) will all move 

together as the table top plates are re-

tracted to gain access to the stored but-

terfly leaf.

This photo was taken at final assembly 

time.  The clamp holds 

the two top plates 

firmly together in the 

center of the table.  

The shims hold the 

outer-most torsion box 

filler just a smooth 

slide clear of the in-

side of the frame.

The small photo 

shows how the inside 

of the leg is held 5mm 

short of touching the 

outside of the outer-

most cross member.  

This, too, is important 

to accommodate the 

seasonal movement of 

the top.
