Festool KV-SYS D8 DOMINO Connector Range
At a Glance: 138-piece DOMINO D8 connector assortment for detachable furniture joints using DF 500, DF 500 R and DFC 500 joining machines
The Festool KV-SYS D8 is a complete DOMINO connector range designed for strong, precise and detachable furniture connections. Made for use with the Festool DF 500, DF 500 R and DFC 500 joining machines, this connector assortment gives professional furniture makers, cabinetmakers, shopfitters and installers a smart system for building furniture that can be assembled, disassembled and reassembled cleanly. From corner panel joints to centre panel joints and connections using a 32 mm series of holes, the KV-SYS D8 provides the flexibility to create stable furniture structures without permanently gluing every joint.
The KV-SYS D8 is ideal when furniture must be transported flat, assembled on site, moved later or serviced without destroying the joint. The system combines DOMINO accuracy with connector hardware, giving you clean alignment, strong clamping and practical detachable construction for furniture fitting, shopfitting and trade fair builds.

- Detachable furniture construction: Enables strong joints that can be assembled and disassembled when required.
- Corner and centre panel joints: Suitable for a wide range of panel-based furniture and carcass construction work.
- LR32 series-hole support: Includes connector options for use with a 32 mm hole series.

Extra Information
- The KV-SYS D8 is designed for use with Festool DF 500, DF 500 R and DFC 500 DOMINO joining machines.
- The connector system is suited to panel thicknesses from 18 mm to 28 mm.
- Routing and cutting tolerances of up to 1.4 mm can be compensated for by the fixture system.
- The set includes DOMINO basic structure connectors, LR32 structure connectors, centre panel connectors, LR32 centre panel connectors and DOMINO D 8 x 36 mm tenons.
- Cover caps are included in brown, silver, white and grey for cleaner visible finishing.
- The drilling template can be used with extraction and helps set the correct position and drilling depth for the fixture hole.
- The set is especially useful for first-time users of the DOMINO connector system because the main D8 connector components are supplied together in one Systainer³.
Pro Tips
- Use the KV-SYS D8 when a furniture joint must be strong but still removable later.
- Test the connector setup on offcut material before cutting into finished boards or expensive panels.
- Keep the panel thickness in mind. This connector system is best suited to 18 mm to 28 mm material.
- Use the drilling template for the fixture hole instead of trying to mark it by eye. Eyeballing furniture hardware is how cupboards learn to wobble.
- Choose the cover cap colour closest to the board or fitting colour for a neater finished appearance.
- Keep all remaining connectors in the Systainer³ after the job so the system stays complete and ready for the next build.
How to Use
- Plan the joint type required, such as a corner panel joint, centre panel joint or LR32 series-hole connection.
- Check that the panel thickness is suitable for the DOMINO D8 connector system.
- Set up the DF 500, DF 500 R or DFC 500 joining machine according to the required DOMINO routing position.
- Rout the DOMINO mortises in the panel components using the correct settings for the connector type.
- Use the BS-KV D15 drilling template to position the fixture hole accurately.
- Use the KVB-HW D15 CE hinge location cutter to drill the fixture hole to the required depth.
- Insert the DOMINO connector components and D 8 x 36 mm DOMINO tenons as required for the joint.
- Assemble the furniture parts and tighten the connector hardware using the supplied screwdriver.
- Check alignment and joint pull-up before final tightening.
- Fit the required cover caps for a neat finished appearance.

Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection when routing DOMINO mortises or drilling fixture holes.
- Read and follow the operating instructions for the DF 500, DF 500 R or DFC 500 joining machine before use.
- Clamp or support workpieces securely before routing or drilling.
- Use the correct cutter, routing depth and machine settings for the connector type being installed.
- Keep hands clear of the cutter and drilling area during machining.
- Use dust extraction where possible when routing and drilling board materials.
- Check connector parts are seated properly before tightening the joint.
