Festool BS-KV D15 Drilling Template for DOMINO D 8 Connectors

At a Glance: Precision 15 mm drilling template for machining the surface access hole required by Festool DOMINO D 8 detachable furniture and carcass connectors. Designed for panels from 18–28 mm thick, matched to the Festool KVB-HW D15 CE hinge location cutter and suitable for the DF 500, DF 500 R and cordless DFC 500 DOMINO systems.

The Festool BS-KV D15 is the dedicated drilling template for accurately producing the surface hole required when installing Festool DOMINO D 8 detachable furniture and basic-structure connectors. The template precisely establishes the position of the 15 mm fixture hole and works together with the matching Festool KVB-HW D15 CE hinge location cutter, order number 203165. This removes much of the measuring and positioning normally associated with detachable furniture fittings and helps create repeatable connector installations in panels from 18 mm to 28 mm thick. The drilling template can also be used with dust extraction, allowing chips to be removed directly while drilling. As part of the DOMINO D 8 connector system, the BS-KV D15 supports strong yet detachable furniture construction that can be assembled, dismantled and reassembled when required.

Precise drilling for detachable DOMINO furniture connectors

The BS-KV D15 does not create the DOMINO mortise itself. The DOMINO DF 500, DF 500 R or DFC 500 produces the 8 mm connector mortise, while the BS-KV D15 accurately positions the separate 15 mm surface hole required to access and operate the detachable connector fitting.

Extra Information

What is the BS-KV D15? It is a drilling template used to machine the 15 mm surface access hole required by Festool's detachable DOMINO D 8 furniture connectors.
What does D15 mean? D15 refers to the 15 mm drill-guide diameter and the matching 15 mm cutter used with the template.
Which cutter is required? Festool specifies the KVB-HW D15 CE hinge location cutter, order number 203165.
Which panel thicknesses can be used? Festool specifies the detachable D 8 connector system for panels from 18 mm to 28 mm thick.
Does the template make the 8 mm DOMINO mortise? No. The D 8 connector mortise is produced with the compatible DOMINO joining machine. The BS-KV D15 is used for the additional surface drilling required by the connector hardware.
Why is a 15 mm surface hole required? The hole provides access for installing and operating the detachable connector mechanism while allowing the fitting itself to remain integrated into the furniture component.
Can dust extraction be used? Yes. Festool specifically designed the drilling template so it can be used with an extraction system to remove wood chips directly during drilling.
Why use a template instead of measuring the hole manually? The BS-KV D15 establishes the connector-hole position from the DOMINO system geometry, greatly reducing manual layout work and helping prevent positioning errors.

DOMINO strength with a detachable connection

Traditional glued DOMINO joints are designed to become permanent after assembly. Festool's D 8 furniture connector system takes a different approach: it uses the precision and stability of the DOMINO mortise together with mechanical connector hardware so furniture can be tightened securely but still dismantled later. This is particularly valuable for large cabinets, fitted furniture, exhibition installations and furniture that must be transported through restricted spaces.

Why the 15 mm drilling position matters

The surface hole must intersect the connector hardware at the correct location and depth. Even a small positioning error can make assembly difficult or prevent the fitting from operating correctly. The BS-KV D15 establishes this geometry mechanically, providing a much faster and more repeatable solution than laying out every drilling position by measurement.

Built around tolerance in real furniture construction

Festool's detachable DOMINO D 8 connector system can compensate for routing and cutting tolerances of up to approximately 1.4 mm. This helps make larger furniture assemblies more forgiving while still producing a stable finished connection.

Pro Tips

Machine the DOMINO connector mortise first and use the BS-KV D15 in the correct sequence specified for the connector being installed.
Use the genuine Festool KVB-HW D15 CE cutter 203165 to maintain the intended drilling geometry.
Check the panel thickness before beginning; the connector system is designed for panels from 18 mm to 28 mm.
Keep the reference surfaces of the template and workpiece clean. A trapped wood chip can affect positioning accuracy.
Hold the template firmly and fully against its reference surfaces before drilling.
Connect dust extraction whenever possible. Removing chips during drilling keeps the guide and cutter cleaner and makes repeat work more efficient.
For repetitive furniture components, complete a test connection first before machining the complete production batch.
Clearly mark matching cabinet components and reference faces before machining multiple connector positions.
Do not substitute an ordinary 15 mm drill unless its geometry and depth-control method are specifically suitable for the connector system.
Inspect the D15 cutter regularly. A clean, sharp cutter produces a more accurate fixture hole with a better edge finish.
Store the drilling template with the matching D15 cutter and DOMINO connector accessories so the complete system remains together.

How to Use

Confirm that the panel thickness is within the specified 18–28 mm range.
Mark the furniture components and reference surfaces according to the required connector layout.
Use the compatible DF 500, DF 500 R or DFC 500 to machine the required DOMINO D 8 connector mortise.
Fit the Festool KVB-HW D15 CE cutter 203165 to a compatible drilling machine or CENTROTEC system as specified by Festool.
Position the BS-KV D15 drilling template at the prepared DOMINO connector location.
Make sure the template is seated completely against its reference surfaces.
Connect suitable dust extraction to the template where available.
Insert the D15 cutter through the drill guide.
Drill the fixture hole using smooth, controlled pressure until the specified depth is reached.
Withdraw the cutter while it is still aligned with the drill guide.
Remove the template and clear any remaining chips from the hole and DOMINO mortise.
Inspect the drilling for correct position and clean edges.
Install the corresponding DOMINO D 8 connector components according to the Festool connector instructions.
Dry-assemble the furniture components and verify correct alignment and connector operation before completing the project.
