Product Overview

Manufacturer: Festool

  • The Festool 18V DOMINO DFC 500 E-Basic is the first cordless DOMINO jointing machine from Festool. Designed for professionals who demand precision and portability, this tool brings the trusted DOMINO system into the 18V cordless platform, offering unmatched flexibility on-site and in the workshop.


    The DFC 500 18V Domino delivers twist-proof, stable joints with the freedom of cordless operation. Its ergonomic spade handle and pendulum routing motion ensure accurate mortises with minimal effort.

    Every wooden joint has its perks. The DOMINO jointing system, which includes a cordless joining machine and DOMINO dowels, brings them all together. The unique pendulum routing motion of the DOMINO creates precise, twist-proof elongated holes. The DOMINO dowel combines the strength of slotted and tenon joints with the flexibility of flat dowels. It’s perfect for both delicate and sturdy pieces in the home and outdoors. Plus, the cordless version with its comfy spade handle gives you extra ease without any cables to worry about.

    Main applications:

    Frames and frame joints in solid wood

    Panel joints in various types of panel materials

    Twist-proof connections, even with small cross sections

    Creation of stable mitre joints

    Easy-to-remove corner connectors with the DOMINO connectors

    Joining thin bits from 12 mm up

    Round profile connection with the handrail fence

    Features:

    Exact connection to the battery.

    The cordless version with an ergonomic spade handle gives you more comfort while working without cables. The upgraded guide frame means more flexibility and the column guide offers better stability. There are four stop pins for precise positioning, so you can skip all that annoying measuring or marking.

    Not flat. Not round. Simple DOMINO.

    With the DFC 500, you can cut DOMINO dowels to fit perfectly or with a bit of play. Their unique oval shape makes them super sturdy and stops them twisting right from the first dowel. They blend the precision of round dowels with the flexibility of flat dowels. Plus, you can get them in various sizes for both delicate and solid pieces.

    One-of-a-kind DOMINO system.

    The DOMINO system features dowels made from two types of wood, perfect for both inside and outside use. Machine accessories like round and trim stops really broaden what you can do with it. The connecting fittings give you those solid connections you’re used to and can be popped apart quickly if you need to.

    Innovative stop system

    Dowel positioning made easy: Starting from a reference edge or a previously routed DOMINO hole, you can quickly and precisely set up the router using the four built-in stop pins – you can even create dowel groups!

    Maximum stability

    The unique shape of the DOMINO dowel, along with the expanding glue pockets and side grooves, provides a really secure hold. With the Festool Joining machine, you can work with DOMINO dowels sized from 4 x 20 mm to 10 x 50 mm. They’re also available as customisable material.

    100% rotation-proof

    Right from the first DOMINO the joints are completely secured against rotation – without aligning the workpieces.

    Also fixable

    The DOMINO connectors are just right for building frames and cabinets. They stand out thanks to their sturdy build and the extra tightening range. If needed, you can quickly take them apart again.

    DOMINO system accessories

    Perfectly joining round and square woods, consistent hole spacing or frame joints: We’ve got the right system accessories – compatible with all DOMINO routing.

    For inside and out

    DOMINOs are available in two materials: Beech for interior applications and weatherproof, insect- and mould-resistant sipo DOMINOs for outdoor applications.

    Even for the tiniest bits of work

    Thin workpieces from 12 mm up can be easily joined with our smallest 4 x 20 mm DOMINO dowels – perfect for drawer sides.

    Choose your long-hole width

    The first DOMINO goes in through a precise elongated hole, and the next DOMINOs are routed through wider ones with a bit of wiggle room. This way, any misalignment can be sorted out, and the joint sits perfectly flush.

    Routing depths set for dowels

    The routing depth stop lets you set preset routing depths of 12 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, and 28 mm. These depths are perfectly matched to the dowels and panel materials.

    Mitre joints

    The routing angle of the Joining machine can be adjusted smoothly anywhere from 0° to 90°. The snug-fit dowels help keep the workpiece perfectly aligned while gluing.

    Working with extraction

    When you’re working with the DOMINO Joining machine, you’ll end up with a lot of chips. To make chip removal from the routing hole easier and keep things precise while you’re routing, we recommend a mobile dust extractor.

    Stay connected

    By linking up with the Festool app, you can access operational data anytime, like your last location. Plus, you can quickly find the right accessories and handy tips. You can also carry out software updates or create a repair order if you need service.
