Festool Domino DF 500 Q (Model No.: 574258)

One can never have too many Routers. Festool routers are the finest in the world. Always wear eye protection, and "Throw Some Chips Dude!"

The Domino is truly a Revolutionary Tool. Since it's launch there have been thousands of these little gems sold. The ease that it lends to ALL TYPES OF JOINERY is remarkable. The NEXT GENERATION DOMINO IS NOW AVAILABLE

Edge Gluing is a snap. As long as you indes off the same surface, the orientation of the mortise is irrelevant. Obviously, we would like to hit the center of the board, however, if you are a bit off...no biggy. The indexing pins make it easy to line up the spacing as well. As long as you index from the same reference end, you will line up. One slick note is, the machine can be adjusted for slop. If you look on the top of the Domino, there is a dial. This dial will allow you to expand the actual mortise that is cut into the workpiece. There is a setting for gnats a@% on the money to the width of the domino, then you can open it up a bit, and then you can open it up more depending on what YOU choose as your tolerance...very kewl. Use this feature for long runs down the edge of your joining work pieces.

The domino is limited to your creativity. Try making a jewelry box with mitered corners. Use the 45* stop position, and actuall cut through the work piece. If you make your own domino tenons out of exotic lumber, you can actually use the dominos as a decorative feature.

Dust Free - The Domino uses the D27 hose end that comes with the CT Vacuums.

Stepped Positioning - Use the stepped positioning that comes calibrated from factory.

Dude it's fast! - Lining up the thing is a snap. You can certainly use the indexing pins; or, mark a line on the adjoining pieces place your cross hair (center-line) on the marked line and plunge.

Easy Depth setting - place the setting on the machine for the size of Domino tenon you are using and plunge.

The new Festool 4mm cutter (sold seperately) and the 4mm Beech Domino's (sold seperatly) make thinner items much easier to join. Base, case, moulding, frames, etc.

The new New Festool Support Base that comes standard with the domino has Flip down stops that allow you to index at 20mm as well, again, geared toward the usage of the 4mm Domino, and getting closer to the edge of a workpiece.

This machine is truly an amazing thing. If you want to talk DOMINO just give us a jingle. We would be happy to discuss your techniques and applications to make sure it is right for you. Even if you don't think so...you should have a DOMINO.
