Festool domino milling machine DOMINO DF 500 Q-Plus

Main applications:
Furniture manufacturing
Shopfitting/interior design
Window construction
Trade fair construction
For panel connections
For frame and framework connections

Oval shape, more glue surface, better stability. The DOMINO system combines the precision of a round dowel with the flexibility of a traditional flat dowel – the ideal solution for panel connections.
The system consists of the DF 500 joiner, DOMINO dowels in various sizes, and a wide range of accessories for special applications. The result: extremely stable and invisible joints. And DOMINO can do even more: framework, frame, drawer joints, …

One system that connects everything
The DOMINO DF 500 is particularly convenient and offers almost unlimited connection possibilities. Whether it's panel or carcass construction, light frame or framework connections – the DF 500 impresses with maximum precision, flexibility, and ease of use.

Mortising principle
Unique among handheld machines and patented by Festool: the milling movement of the Domino dowel milling machines.
The simultaneous rotation and oscillation of the milling tool make it easy to work with and leave no burn marks in the holes.
Thanks to the pendulum movement, the cutters do not overheat, ensuring an extremely long service life.

Oval hole principle
Precise alignment: the first DOMINO dowel is placed precisely in the elongated hole, subsequent ones are adjusted with play in the larger elongated holes – this allows the connection to be easily aligned. The result is a stable connection, twist-proof from the first dowel.

Innovative fence system
One major time saver when working with the DOMINO dowel milling machine is that you can work without time-consuming measurements and markings – the quick and precise positioning of the DOMINO DF 500 is very easy with the fences.

Save time on repetitive milling depths
For good flexibility and precision: select the appropriate milling depth using the locking lever stop. 12 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, and 28 mm are possible.

Extremely durable
The special shape of the DOMINO dowel with expanding glue pockets and longitudinal grooves on the sides gives the dowels a secure grip.
With the Festool DOMINO DF 500 dowel milling machine, you can process DOMINO dowels up to 10x50 mm. Also available as individually customizable finished products.

Always successful
Precise bevel milling with locking steps or stepless milling angle adjustment.

Ideal for connecting sliding drawers
Even thin workpieces from 12 mm can be easily connected – ideal for drawer sides.

For outdoor and indoor use
DOMINO dowels are available in two materials: beech for indoor use and weather-, insect-, and mold-resistant Sipo dowels for outdoor use.

100% twist-proof
Connections are absolutely twist-proof from the very first DOMINO dowel – without aligning the workpieces.

Environmentally friendly
All DOMINO dowels come from sustainable forestry. Beech dowels have the Pan European Forest Council (PEFC) certification seal.

Working with dust extraction function
A large amount of chips is generated when working with DOMINO dowel milling machines. We strongly recommend always using dust extraction to improve chip transport from the milling hole during milling, as well as to protect your health.

DOMINO system accessories
Precisely fitting connection for round and square wood, as well as repetitive spacing of holes: Compatible as system accessories for DOMINO XL and DOMINO DF 500 devices.
