Video showing another great use for the DD40.
This is a repair for some antique Danish furniture. The Chairs are made from Teak and I used the DD40 to add some strength to the joint in addition to some slow drying epoxy and 8mm dowels.

I like the video. On that chair repair project it looks like you are leaving the dowels exposed & sanding them flat right? Are you refinishing the chairs also? If so what are you going to finish them with?

The Dowels will be flush cut with a saw and finished with a Chisel. I will not be refinishing the chairs due to cost and the fear that the chairs will only last a few years longer. The dowels will get some oil and the chairs will go back for use.

What I like here is accurate and evenly spaced through dowels for joint strength all in one go.

Its a great method since theres no measuring and its super fast. It took longer to make the video than to drill all the chairs.

I think some experiments are in order regarding through dowels in a mortise and tenon joint. Check out this pdf article I found regarding pegged mortise and tenon joints in Timberframing. linkJust something to chew on

www.thewoodwhisperer.com/videos/drawbored-mortise-tenon/This link shows something very similar to what you are referring to. Joinery is becoming really interesting to me and a lot of it incorporates dowels in one way or another (wedged dowel, draw bored mortise & tenon etc.) I like the look of the exposed dowels- especially when they are actual joinery instead of the Greene & Greene style where their exposed joinery is primarily for looks. GhostFist- maybe you shouldn't post anymore- your profile picture with all the weird eyes looks good with the 666 under it. You are now an official Mafell cult member.

Here is a closer look when finished. I have some better pictures but the site keeps turning the images.

Just ordered the DD40P with additional 5mm and 16mm cutters and the 800mm template with the 1600mm extension. Also ordered an F310. Unfortunately the templates and F310 are out of stock and will not arrive for 2-3 weeks. In my past dealings with Mafell NA lead times from germany to louisiana were only about 1.5 weeks max. Not sure why the extended delay.
Anyhow, jalvis, schedule permitting, sure would appreciate a video showing the templates in use, shelf pins, and joinery. Nothing fancy required, scrap stock would be fine. Your last video was very helpful. Thanks in advance.
Looks like their is not much left before I'll have one of each of Mafell's offerings. They sure do engineer awesome machinery!

Jalvis, that looks really nice and clean. I like it.
The DD40 is awesome. I use it for almost all my joinery. The only flaw I think it has is something which has been reported by another member already. And I wholeheartedly agree with that. It's that there isn't a soft start and I always need to reposition it after i turn it on. There's a slight learning curve to the tool but once you get it, it should serve you well for many projects to come.

Thanks for all the kind responses and congrats on your new toy.
I'm a big fan of the DD40 and prefer using it to any other…..although I still haven't got a Lamello Zeta.
I will work on some quick videos as soon as I can. Currently fighting a horrible cold and going to avoid power tools until the head clears.

I wouldn't mind seeing more on this tool also. I am still debating between the DD40 and the Domino 700. Any insights/ opinions between the two tools are interesting to me also. GhostFist- good job on not posting and keeping your evil profile rolling- I have noticed that you have "liked" a couple peoples posts. Good luck not posting once you mess around with that new jigsaw
