Festool DOMINO DF 500-Plus Joining System

End join panels with bevel joints quickly and accurately.

Release the clamp lever

Adjust the tilting base for the positioning angle:

1. as required via the millimeter scale 0-90 degrees or
2. to preset positions at 0, 22.5, 45, 67.5 or 90 degrees

Tighten lever clamp

Rout mortises along the scribe line on the bevel cut in the board

User Tip:
Use the DOMINO joining system to manufacture a clothes rack in no time at all.

Flush panel joints are easy to make:

Position the DOMINO Joining Machine on the edge of the workpiece using the stop pin. Rout the first mortise accurately in relation to the DOMINO - without clearance

The remaining mortises can be routed (with clearance) either:

1. along the scribe line via the viewing window or
2. using the movable stop pins and the cross stop

Glue the joint in position in one operation

Stable mitered frame joints in hardwood are also easy to make.

Draw a scribe line over both frame sections

Select a suitable sized DOMINO and set the routing depth. Pay special attention to the routing height when arranging two rows of DOMINOs, one above the other

Secure the frame sections e.g. on the multifunction table, rout the mortises and glue the sections together

Create sturdy frame joints in an instant:

Select a suitably sized DOMINO and set the routing width. Measure the rails and adjust the routing depth via the stepped stop

The rails can be aligned perfectly central to the machine using the trim stop (accessory)

After routing all the rails, simply remove the trim stop and rout the remaining mortises width the same height setting

It's as simple as that! Then glue the frame and you're done!

Create a shell with integrated frame (flush joint):

Rout panel joints along the scribe line and glue the shell. The first DOMINO makes sure that the panel joint is flush

Rout mortises for locating the frame in the shell: the first hole is routed precisely to the size of the DOMINO. The remaining mortises are made with a slight clearance, to compensate for minor positioning inaccuracies and to allow for expansion and contraction of the material

Dry fit the assembly before gluing: simply insert the DOMINOS into the mortises and then place the frame in position

Balustrade and handrail assembly is easy with the DOMINO Joining System:

Stable glued joints are easy to make, especially in frame assembly. Designed for material widths of 22mm and above

The special shape and large gluing area of the DOMINO produces a solid joint that's as stable as a mortise and tenon joint

The elongated shape of the DOMINO makes the rails and balusters 100% rotation-proof

Creating door frames is extremely easy with the DOMINO Joining System.

You can even rout mortises in the rebate of a door frame with DOMINOs flat design

The routed mortises are perfectly sized to the width of the DOMINO. The edges of the door frame sections fit together perfectly and straightaway

Solid rack joints are easy to manufacture.

Small batch production with the DOMINO DF 500 Joining Machine.

Small production runs can be produced economically using the trim stop

Simply adjust the trim stop to the required dimension and get started. All the slats are routed centrally

The DOMINO Joining System can even rout mortises in frame rebates - the frame fits together perfectly

Assemble all the components and your new garden sunbed is done

User Tip:
The DOMINO Joining System is particularly suitable for individual items or small batches of items that incorporate multiple slats.

Standard gluing procedure.

Apply glue, making sure that the mortises have a sufficient coating on both sides

The glue settles in the grooves and expands the glue slots on the DOMINO

Completely coating both sides of the mortises increases stability

User Tip:
The DOMINO joint is as stable as a motise and tenon joint, only much quicker to manufacture and more adaptable, especially in frame and rack assembly.
