Festool KV D8/50 DOMINO Corner Connector Set
At a Glance: Detachable DOMINO corner connector system for producing 50 strong and accurately aligned furniture joints in panels from 18–28mm thick.
Create strong furniture corner joints that can be assembled, dismantled and reassembled with the Festool KV D8/50 DOMINO Corner Connector Set. Designed for use with the Festool DF 500, DF 500 R and DFC 500 joining machines, the system combines the speed and positioning accuracy of DOMINO routing with a robust mechanical connector. Both connector positions are routed directly into the cabinet side and base component, while a precisely positioned 15mm drilled hole provides access to the tightening mechanism. The connector&s generous tightening distance and long M4 bolt simplify furniture assembly, making it practical to assemble larger cupboards and cabinets without additional assistance. Integrated tolerance compensation accommodates routing and cutting variations of up to 1.4mm, while flush-mounted fastening elements help protect furniture components against scratching during transport and assembly.
The KV D8/50 creates a secure corner connection without permanently locking the furniture components together. This allows cabinets, shelving and other panel furniture to be manufactured in the workshop, transported efficiently and assembled at the final installation location.
Product Highlights

Pro Tips
- Label matching furniture components before routing so that each side and base panel remains paired during final assembly.
- Make a complete test joint in offcut material of the same thickness before machining finished furniture components.
- Use a compatible connector drilling template to position the 15mm access hole accurately and control its drilling depth.
- Keep the DOMINO machine firmly referenced against the same face of both components to maintain accurate alignment.
- Confirm the 15mm and 28mm routing-depth settings before cutting the respective connector mortises.
- Remove chips and dust from each mortise before installing the connector components.
- Tighten the M4 bolt gradually until the joint closes firmly; excessive tightening is unnecessary.
- Use suitable cover caps where a finished appearance over the access hole is required.
- Store unused connector components together so that the split anchors, bolts, trays and cross anchors remain in complete sets.
How to Use
- Mark the side and base components according to the required finished corner-joint position.
- Confirm that the panel thickness is between 18mm and 28mm.
- Fit the appropriate 8mm cutter to the compatible DOMINO joining machine.
- Set the routing depth to 15mm and cut the connector mortise in the side component.
- Set the routing depth to 28mm and cut the corresponding mortise in the base component.
- Position a compatible connector drilling template over the base-panel mortise.
- Drill the required 15mm access hole to the specified position and depth.
- Remove all routing and drilling dust from the prepared mortises and access hole.
- Insert the split anchor and its associated connector component into the side-panel mortise.
- Install the plastic tray, cross anchor and threaded pin in the prepared base component.
- Insert the M4 bolt and confirm that it engages correctly with the threaded connector.
- Bring the furniture components together while ensuring that their edges and faces remain aligned.
- Access the connector through the 15mm drilled hole and tighten the bolt gradually.
- Continue tightening until the joint is firmly closed and the furniture components are flush.
- Fit a suitable optional cover cap over the access hole where required.
- To dismantle the furniture, loosen the bolt through the access hole and separate the components carefully.
