Product Details
Cordless Freedom: Strong joints. No cords. Built for the job site. The DOMINO DFC 500 is part of Festool’s 18V battery system—giving you full mobility on the job site with no need for a power outlet. Pair it with a cordless dust extractor and you’ve got a completely cord-free setup that goes wherever you do.
Comfort Grip: Work All Day, Be Comfortable. The ergonomic D-handle with soft grip keeps you in control and cuts down on fatigue.
Precise Cutting: Smooth, Precise Cutting. The DOMINO’s unique pendulum motion combines rotation and swing for clean, twist-proof mortises. It also keeps the cutter cool, so it lasts longer.
Oscillating Cutting Motion: Fast Setup, Easy Alignment. Use the built-in index pins to line up from a reference edge or an existing mortise. You can even group tenons for extra strength.
Smart Indexing: Rock-Solid Hold. DOMINO Tenons feature glue pockets and side grooves that lock in tight. Sizes range from 4 x 20 mm to 10 x 50 mm.
Rock-Solid Joints: No Twist, No Hassle. From the first tenon, your joint is locked against rotation—no need to align the workpieces.
Built to Last: Smart Connectors for Cabinets and Frames. DOMINO connectors are tough, adjustable, and easy to take apart when needed.
Complete system: Join Any Shape. Whether you’re working with round or square stock, DOMINO accessories help you get perfect spacing and strong frame joints.
Indoor & Outdoor Ready: Built for Indoors and Out. Choose beech tenons for interior work or sipo tenons for outdoor builds—they’re weatherproof and resistant to insects and mold.
Small Part Friendly: Perfect for Small Parts. Join thin pieces starting at just 1/2" (12 mm)—ideal for drawer sides and detailed work.
Custom Fit: Flush Every Time. Start with a snug mortise, then use wider ones for the rest. That little wiggle room helps fix misalignment and keeps your joint flush.
Adjustable Mortising Depth: Dialed-In Depths. Choose from preset routing depths: 12, 15, 20, 25, or 28 mm. Each one matches your tenon size and panel thickness.
Miter Joints: Adjustable Angles. Set your routing angle anywhere from 0° to 90° for perfect miters and tight glue-ups.
Dust-extractable: Dust-Free Mortising. DOMINO creates chips fast. Hook up a Dust Extractor to keep your cuts clean and precise.
App-ready: Smart Features with the Festool App. Track your tool’s location, find accessories, get tips, update software, or request service—all from your phone.
