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, 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.

Fast, accurate loose-tenon joinery with the Festool DOMINO system

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.

Joining machine DOMINO DF 500 Q-Plus 240V

Oval shape, larger glued area, more stability. The DOMINO system unites the precision of a round dowel with the flexibility of a traditional flat dowel – the perfect solution for panel joints. The system consists of the DF 500 dowel jointer, DOMINOs in different sizes and a wide range of accessories for special applications. The result: extremely strong, invisible joints. And DOMINO can do much more: rack joints, frame joints, drawer joints, etc.

Product highlights

Achieve ideal results more quickly: positioned in next to no time with the innovative stop cap system. The routing height and depth can be adjusted in seconds using the preselection slider.
Convenient and safe: unique patented pendulum routing principle enables smooth, accurate work as well as holes without any scorch marks.
Systems get it done: DOMINO, cutter, dowel up to 10 x 50 mm, flexible adjustment options and compatible system accessories for virtually unlimited jointing possibilities.

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.

Pendulum cutting principle

Unique among manual machines and patented by Festool: The DOMINO DF 500 jointer routing motion. The simultaneous rotating and pendulum movement of the router allows smooth working and holes without scorch marks. Thanks to the pendulum motion, the routers do not overheat, leading to an extremely long tool life.

Long-hole principle

Custom-fit alignment: The first DOMINO is positioned in a precision cut elongated hole, the next DOMINOs are inserted into wider elongated holes with play so that the joint can be aligned effortlessly. The result is a stable joint, protected against rotation from the first DOMINO.

Innovative stop system

One of the main time-based advantages of working with the DOMINO DF 500 jointers arises from working without complicated measuring or marking – with the DOMINO DF 500, the fast and precise positioning is quite simple thanks to the stop catches.

Save time when using the same cutting depth over and over again

For great flexibility and precision: You select your required routing depth using the detent lever lock. The options are 12 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm and 28 mm.

Maximum stability

The special shape of the DOMINO in combination with expanding glue pockets and lateral longitudinal grooves gives the dowels a secure grip. You can use the Festool DOMINO DF 500 joining machine to process DOMINOs up to 10 x 50 mm in size. Also available as individually adjustable rods.

For inside and out

DOMINOs are available in two materials: Beech for interior applications and weatherproof, insect- and mould-resistant sipo DOMINOs for outdoor applications.

100% rotation-proof

Right from, the first DOMINO the joints are completely secured against rotation – without aligning the workpieces.

Working with extraction

Larger quantities of chips are created when working with the DOMINO DF 500 jointers. To improve chip removal out of the routed hole during routing, as well as to protect your health, we recommend always working with a dust extraction system.

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.
