Festool DF 500 DOMINO Joining Machine In Systainer (FES576413)
At a Glance: 420W corded DOMINO joiner with 28mm max cutting depth, 0–90° mitre routing, and supporting cutter sizes 4–10mm
This is the tool that makes joinery feel like cheating (in the best way). The Festool DF 500 DOMINO Joining Machine is a precision loose-tenon joiner designed to create strong, invisible joints quickly and repeatably—without the usual measuring drama. Its patented pendulum cutting principle produces smooth mortises with reduced scorching risk, while the stop system helps you line up joints fast for panels, cabinets, frames and rack joints. With adjustable cutting depths up to 28mm, mitre routing from 0–90°, and support for DOMINO cutter sizes from 4mm to 10mm, the DF 500 is a serious workshop staple for clean, accurate, professional joinery.
The DOMINO system combines the accuracy of dowel-style positioning with the strength and flexibility of a floating tenon. Cut, glue, clamp—done. It’s ideal for repeated production work, but just as satisfying for one-off builds where perfect alignment matters.
Extra Information
- Items included: DF 500 DOMINO Joining Machine, 1 x Domino Cutter D5, Vertical Stop (support bracket), Plug-it Lead, Tool Manual, WAF 8 Open Ended Spanner, and Systainer3 SYS 5.
- Use the correct DOMINO tenon size for your material thickness and load requirements, and dry-fit before gluing.
- For repeat work, set depth and fence positions once, then run parts in batches to maximise accuracy and speed.
- Always use extraction where possible—mortising produces a lot of chips and clean cut-outs improve fit and finish.
Pro Tip
- For perfectly aligned panel glue-ups, cut a series of DOMINO mortises along the edge at consistent spacing—then use the tenons like “self-aligning clamps” to keep everything flush while you tighten up.
Features
- Patented Pendulum Cutting Principle Simultaneous rotation and pendulum motion for smooth mortises and reduced overheating.
- Preset Routing Depths Detent settings for 12mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm and 28mm for fast repeatability.
- Mitre Routing 0–90° Precise angle routing for clean mitre and angled joint work.
- Multiple Cutter Sizes Supports DOMINO cutter diameters: 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm.
- Extraction Ready 27mm dust extraction connection for cleaner work and better visibility.
- Supplied In Systainer Stores the tool neatly for transport and organised workshop storage.
Benefits
- Stronger, Cleaner Joints: Loose-tenon joinery delivers excellent strength with neat, hidden results.
- Faster Assembly: Reduced marking and measuring means quicker layout and repeatable accuracy.
- More Versatility: Handles panels, cabinets, frames, racks and mitres with one joinery platform.
- More Comfortable Workflow: Smoother cutting action and extraction support help reduce mess and fatigue.
Safety
- Wear eye protection and a dust mask/respirator suitable for wood dust.
- Use hearing protection—high-speed cutting tools can be loud.
- Clamp the workpiece securely and keep hands clear of the cutter path at all times.
- Disconnect power before changing cutters, making adjustments, or performing maintenance.
- Use dust extraction where possible and keep the work area clean to prevent slipping and poor visibility.
