Festool DF 500 RQ-Plus DOMINO Joining Machine
At a Glance: 420 W DOMINO joining machine for precise, strong and rotation-proof joints using 4 - 10 mm DOMINO cutters
The Festool DF 500 RQ-Plus DOMINO is a professional joining machine designed to create strong, accurate and reliable timber joints with remarkable speed and repeatability. It combines the precision of a round dowel with the flexibility of a flat dowel, using Festool's unique pendulum routing action to create clean elongated mortices for DOMINO dowels. Ideal for cabinetmaking, furniture production, joinery, frames, panels, mitres and small-section work, the DF 500 makes it easier to produce perfectly aligned joints that are stable, strong and secured against rotation from the very first DOMINO.
The DF 500 uses a rotating and pendulum routing movement to create precise elongated holes for DOMINO dowels. This allows the user to create strong joints with excellent alignment, while also allowing slight adjustment where needed by choosing the suitable mortice width.
