A year and a few weeks after its U.S. release date on April 1, 2007, the Festool Domino DF 500 has proven itself to be truly majestic, as it has performed way beyond the usual biscuit jointers. It has taken furniture-, window- and door-, frame- and panel-, table-, chair- and cabinet-making into new heights and above the construction norm.

Consisting of the two major components—the Domino joiner and pre-assembled solid Domino tenons—this tool lessened the time and difficulty in mortise and tenon joining. The Domino joiner is a practical tool with its adjustable mortise sizing, radical cutting scheme, and uncomplicated classification and indexing attributes. It has the capability to make unflawed mortises each time. The Domino tenon, with its 100% rotation proof feature and strength greater than either dowels or biscuits, is just as remarkable. The large gluing surface provides for additional intensity and durability.

THE DF 500 set, which comes in a Systainer case that houses the Domino Joiner, D5 (5mm) cutter, trim stop, cross stop, support bracket, wrench and plug-it cord, is equipped with the ability to replace a whole lot of your systems, routers, bits, and jigs. It can take the place of your pocket screw, dowel, biscuit, and loose-tenon system; the lock mitre router; tongue and groove router bits; dovetail and finger joint and an assortment of other different kinds of joining jigs. Because of this revolutionary feature, it has established its credibility as an all-in-one system that can be used on everything from face frames and small detailed workpieces to large projects and heavy furnishings.

It is for all these terrific reasons that since it was released, the Domino DF 500 Jointer has consistently been getting enthusiastic reviews from professional builders and contractors.
