Knockdown connector for a mitered panel
« on: January 23, 2021, 01:14 PM »
I’m building an L shaped desk for my granddaughter and I want a waterfall edge that can be assembled on site. What type of connector would you recommend?

Lamello makes a few connectors for knock down furniture (45 degree) I researched it prior, but I don’t own the tool, others on FOG have working knowledge. I called Lamello before and spoke with a technical sales rep, they are in Southern California. The question is, if it’s a one time assemble a domino should work? The lamello is an interesting connector since it (clamex?) will also lock itself with a blind Allen bolt.

It definitely is not a one time assemble. I hope this will go to her children when that time comes so I need to be able to pull it apart multiple times. I’m also trying not to buy another tool. I would probably buy the Festool connector set before I buy another tool and figure out a way to make them work which I have an idea already. Just looking for possible other solutions.

I completely understand... I would still call lamello. I believe there is a way to use the cutter and double up the cut to accommodate the width of the plastic connector use a biscuit joiner? If it’s a large panel at a 45 miter then the Festool connector could work, I’m guessing.

Pretty sure Striplox has a connector that will do miters

Thanks Dane, that is what I was looking for. I am going to give them a try on the desk.

If anyone discovers how to use the Festool connectors on a 45 degree joint, please post it.
