The newly-updated DF 500 R features built-in, retractable stop pins for repeatable tenon placement at different spacings, and an upgraded guide frame and column guide for increased stability.

Bring every type of wood joint together with the Festool Domino Joiner DF 500 RQ-Set. The unique pendulum routing action cuts precise, twist-proof elongated holes, while the matching Domino dowels combine the strength of mortise and tenon joints with the flexibility of flat dowels. The result is a system that adapts seamlessly to both delicate and heavy-duty projects, indoors or out.

Precision performance with the Festool DF 500 Domino Joiner Set

The Domino’s one-of-a-kind pendulum cutting motion ensures smooth operation and consistent accuracy. Simultaneous rotation and pendulum movement prevent overheating, extending the cutter’s lifespan and keeping work effortless. Built-in stop pins simplify repeated tenon placement, letting you skip time-consuming marking and measuring. The upgraded guide frame and column guide add flexibility and stability, while four positioning pins guarantee perfect alignment every time.

Strong, twist-proof joints made easy

Every cut is designed for maximum holding power. The Domino dowel’s oval shape, expanding glue pockets, and side grooves deliver a secure, twist-proof connection from the very first joint. Choose from dowels sized 4 x 20 millimetres to 10 x 50 millimetres, each matched with preset routing depths of 12, 15, 20, 25, or 28 millimetres for ideal compatibility with different materials. Adjustable routing angles from 0 to 90 degrees make mitre joints simple and precise.

The Festool DF 500 Domino Joiner Set: versatility beyond fixed joints

The Domino system extends beyond fixed joins. Core connectors and furniture fittings enable sturdy assemblies that can be taken apart again when needed. Dowel positioning is quick and precise using built-in reference pins, and the long-hole width selection ensures perfect alignment even when small misalignments occur. Domino dowels and plugs are available in two types of wood, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Work smarter and cleaner with the Festool DF 500 Domino Joiner Set

Festool’s integrated system features—CLEANTEC bayonet fitting, antistatic function, FastFix tool-change system, and Plug It detachable power cable—make the DF 500 efficient and easy to work with. When paired with a Festool mobile dust extractor, chip removal is seamless, keeping your workspace clean and your cuts accurate.

From creating strong panel joints and stable mitres to assembling frames, thin sections, or rounded profiles, every connection made with the DF 500 is fast, reliable, and rotation-proof.
