Functions
Joining has always been a slow, difficult process. Never again, thanks to the Festool DOMINO joining system. The system consists of the DOMINO joiner and pre-fabricated, beech and sipo DOMINO tenons. The DOMINO joiner, with its revolutionary cutting method, simple indexing features and adjustable mortise sizing, makes flawless mortises every single time. The DOMINO tenon is equally as impressive - it is 100% rotation-proof and far stronger than either biscuits or dowels. It also has a large gluing surface area for extra strength.
Please note that the DOMINO DF 500 can be purchased as a set, which includes the optional trim and cross stop. See purchasing options below.
- Mortise width adjustment with the turn of a dial allows for easier alignment when joining panels.
- Pivoting Fence allows you to create angled mortises from 0-90° with positive stops at 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°.
- Indexing pins for quick alignment against the edge of the workpiece for accurate placement.
Product Details
-
Patented routing principle
The spiral cutter rotates and oscillates to create perfect mortises.
-
Mortise Width Adjustment
Adjusting the width of the mortise allows for easier alignment when joining panels
-
Positioning
With an adjustable fence angle, retractable stop flaps, adjustable cutter height with step gauge, and precise mortise depth stop, the DOMINO joiner enables precise mortise placement and spacing.
-
Pivoting fence
Fence creates angled mortises from 0-90° with positive stops at 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°.
-
Repeatable depth control
Minimize milling time and mistakes with the integrated depth-stop with repeat settings. Provides quick and easy, set-and-forget depth control on repeated operations. (DF 700 shown for clarity.)
-
Stepped Height Stop
Quickly and easily accommodate a range of material thicknesses with seven different presets, and infinite adjustability in between.
-
Dust extraction
Your mortises are clean and ready for glue when the DOMINO is used in combination with a dust extractor. Proper dust extraction greatly extends cutter life.
-
Carbide Tip Spiral Bit
Durable, long-lasting bit withstands 5,000-14,000 joints depending on material.
-
Rapid Bit Change
Means you can change a bit in under 30 seconds to match desired tenon size.
-
Immensely portable
DOMINO machines let you take the tool to the work and perform mortise-and-tenon joinery in a fraction of the time of stationary machinery.
-
Lateral adjustment
Adjust mortise width with a flip of a lever to accommodate pinned or flexible joints for fast and easy alignment.
-
Easy cutter changes
Effortlessly and quickly change out tooling faster than traditional machines and methods for greater efficiency.
