Joining wood has traditionally been a slow and challenging task, but the Festool Domino joining system changes that. With its revolutionary cutting method, simple indexing features, and adjustable mortise sizing, the Festool Domino joiner ensures perfect mortises every time.

Revolutionizing Joinery with Precision and Versatility

The Festool Domino DF 500 Starter Set features a revolutionary cutting method that ensures clean and accurate mortises with every use. The simple indexing features and adjustable mortise sizing allow for quick and easy setup, while the DF 500 Plus DOMINO Joiner offers unmatched precision and ease of use.

The LA-DF Trim STOP ensures repeatable cuts for consistent results, and the RA DF Hand Rail Fence adds versatility for angled and edge joining. The Beech Domino Tenon Assortment provides a variety of tenons and cutters for different applications.

Domino Joiner makes mortise and tenon joinery fast and simple

Using built-in presets for depth and width, mortises can be cut in seconds for a perfect fit of Domino tenons regardless of material or grain direction.

Get perfect alignment every time with repeatable reference points

Either the adjustable fence or bottom of the base can be used for registration in setting the height of the mortise, and the fence height can be set with the stepped stop for common material thicknesses, or with the scale. Lateral positioning is achieved using the retractable paddles, accessory Cross Stops (not included), or by using the hairline cursor on the fence.

Accurately-placed mortises and tight-fitting tenons ensure accurate relative positioning, so edges and faces that are supposed to be flush really are flush. This makes mitre joints especially easy to assemble and clamp without specialized corner clamps.

Rotation-proof Domino tenons are precisely sized and convenient

Made of extremely strong rift-sawn beech or sipo mahogany for rot resistance, Domino floating tenons are precisely sized to fit mortises created by the Domino Joiner. The embossed faces hold glue and ribs on the edges allow a pressure fit against the sides of a narrow mortise. They are rotation-proof and offer more glue surface than dowels or biscuits.

DF 500 cuts mortises from 4 to 10 millimetres

The size of the mortise is controlled by the cutter installed. The 5 millimetre bit is ideal for 3/4 sheet goods, and 4, 6, 8, and 10 millimetre cutters can make mortises ideal for 1/2 to 1-3/16 inches thick material. All cutters available for the Domino 500 are included in this starter set.

Quick-adjust sliding depth stop controls depth of cut

Control the depth of cut by changing the depth stop to any of the presets, ensuring perfect repeatability.

Get exceptional dust collection when the Domino Joiner is connected to a dust extractor

Paired with a dust extractor, chips are effectively removed as they are created which keeps the bit cool to prolong its lifespan and keep the workplace clean.

Compatible with knock-down connectors

Festool has developed a line of knock-down connectors for use with the Domino joiners, ideal for creating anything that needs to be broken down for transport or storage.
