It combines the precision of a round dowel with the flexibility of a flat dowel, using Festool's unique pendulum routing action to create clean elongated mortices for DOMINO dowels. Ideal for cabinetmaking, furniture production, joinery, frames, panels, mitres and small-section work, the DF 500 makes it easier to produce perfectly aligned joints that are stable, strong and secured against rotation from the very first DOMINO.

Precision Wood Joining With The DOMINO System The DF 500 uses a rotating and pendulum routing movement to create precise elongated holes for DOMINO dowels. This allows the user to create strong joints with excellent alignment, while also allowing slight adjustment where needed by choosing the suitable mortice width.

Product highlights Unique DOMINO joining system: Combines the strength of mortise-and-tenon joints with the speed and flexibility of dowel joining. Pendulum routing principle: The cutter rotates and swings at the same time to create a clean, accurate elongated mortice. Rotation-proof joints: The oval DOMINO shape secures the joint against twisting from the first dowel.

Fast positioning: Four integrated stop pins help position repeat dowels quickly from a reference edge or previous mortice. Flexible mortice
