Festool dowel milling machine DOMINO DF 500 RQ-Set

DF 500 R = new look of the existing DF 500
Improved guide carriage with clear markings, a swiveling and tilting quick-clamping lever and a robust double-pillar guide. For precise positioning, there are four stop pins (lockable and pivotable away), which saves you time-consuming measuring or marking.

Main applications:
Furniture manufacturing
Shopfitting/interior finishing
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 joint, DOMINO dowels in various sizes and a wide range of accessories for special applications. The result: extremely stable and invisible connections. And DOMINO can do even more: framework, frame, drawer connections, …

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 convinces with maximum precision, flexibility and simple handling.

Pendulum milling 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 ensures that it is easy to work with and there are no burn marks in the holes.
Thanks to the pendulum movement, the cutters do not overheat, which gives them an extremely long service life.

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

Innovative stop system
One major time saving 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 stops.

Save time for repeated 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 dowel milling machine DOMINO DF 500, 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 work
DOMINO dowels are made of two materials: beech for indoor use and weather-, insect- and mold-resistant Sipo dowels for outdoor use.

100% torsion-proof
Connections are absolutely torsion-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 the transport of chips from the milling hole during milling, as well as to protect your health.

DOMINO system accessories
Connection precisely matched to round and square wood, as well as repeated spacing of holes: Compatible as system accessories for DOMINO XL and DOMINO DF 500 devices.
