The Festool Domino Joiner DF 500 RQ brings the precision of traditional mortise and tenon joinery into the modern era with handheld portability. This latest generation model ("RQ") features a significantly upgraded fence system with easy-to-read markings, a quick-release lever, and a rugged double-column design. Using a unique pendulum milling motion, it cuts perfect slots for oval-shaped floating tenons that are 100% twist-proof and stronger than biscuits or dowels. From fine furniture to structural framing, the Domino system allows for rapid, repeatable, and exceptionally strong joints. Upgraded Fence System: New RQ design includes a solid double-column guide, quick-release clamping, and four folding stop pins for fast, measurement-free alignment. Patented Pendulum Motion: Simultaneously rotates and oscillates to cut clean, scorch-free mortises that extend cutter life. Twist-Proof Stability: The oval DOMINO tenon locks tightly into the mortise, preventing rotation from the very first insertion. Dialed-In Depths: Features preset routing depth stops (12, 15, 20, 25, 28 mm) to instantly match tenon sizes and panel thickness. System Versatility: Capable of joining thin material (12mm) up to heavy stock, with tenon sizes ranging from 4x20mm to 10x50mm. Dust Extraction: Integrated port connects to Festool dust extractors to remove chips immediately, keeping mortises clean and glue-ready. Power Consumption: 420 Watts Idle Engine Speed: 25,500 RPM Max Routing Depth: 1-1/16" (28 mm) Domino Slot Cutter Dia.: 5, 6, 8, 10 mm (compatible) Routing Height Adjustment: 1/8" - 1-3/16" (5 - 30 mm) Miter Routing: 0 - 90° Weight: 7.72 lbs (3.6 kg) Beech DOMINO Tenons Assortment DS 4/5/6/8/10 1060 BU Festool Beech Tenons are made from all-natural, solid hardwood for strength and stability. The Beech Tenon serves as a true floating tenon in mortise and tenon applications such as furniture, cabinetmaking, casing and frame work. The flat, elongated design will not rotate, ensuring perfect alignment for both edge and face gluing. Suitable for both plywood and solid wood applications, the dense beech tenon will not expand or telegraph through material, leaving you with clean, flat, and consistent surfaces. The DOMINO Tenon is embossed with glue pockets, and is approximately 2mm shorter than nominal length, allowing space in the mortise for glue. Tenons come in removable plastic bins. Systainer to sort and keep DOMINO tenons together and for easy access to them when working Includes three plastic, removable storage bins with dividers Includes new T-Loc Systainer all DOMINO dowels quickly at hand and cleanly packed in the Systainer³ DOMINO connector range KV-SYS D8 - Perfect joinery. Now with even more versatility. The new knock-down DOMINO basic structure connectors and furniture connectors. The new DOMINO connectors make knock-down joinery simple and stable. Quickly and easily assemble, separate, and reassemble your work for increased flexibility across a wide range of applications – from corner panel joints to center panel joints to joints between a series of holes. For increased stability, speed, and flexibility. The new DOMINO basic structure connectors and furniture connectors can be positioned simply and universally – in combination with DOMINO or a series of holes. Because of its high tolerance compensation and high stability, the detachable DOMINO jointing system enables seamless assembly and disassembly of a piece of furniture – in the workshop as well as with the customer. All joints are simple and quick to machine using the DOMINO DF 500 joiner. No additional special machine is required. The connectors' large tightening distance and long bolts make furniture assembly significantly easier. Cupboard assembly is therefore no problem, and you can do it easily on your own. Routing and cutting tolerances of up to 1.4 mm are compensated for without problems by the fixture. The clever DOMINO system enables very simple and precise positioning of joints, thereby rendering additional stops and positioning aids unnecessary. For working efficiently and quickly. all DOMINO structure connectors and furniture connectors quickly at hand and cleanly packed in the Systainer³
