Festool DOMINO Joiner DF 500 RQ-Set 578544
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.
Features & Benefits
- 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.
