Festool DF 500 RQ Domino Jointer Set

The Festool DF 500 RQ Domino Jointer Set is a precision loose-tenon jointing system designed for carpenters and joiners who demand accurate, repeatable timber connections across a wide range of applications.

At the heart of the system is Festool's distinctive pendulum routing action, which cuts precise elongated mortises that accommodate the specially shaped DOMINO dowels. This combination delivers joints with the structural strength of traditional mortise and slot joinery, while offering the speed and ease of a biscuit jointer. The result is twist-proof, stable connections — even on narrow cross sections or delicate workpieces.

The DF 500 RQ is equally at home creating frame joints in solid wood, panel joints in sheet materials, or mitre joints for furniture and cabinetry work. DOMINO dowels are available in sizes from 4 x 20 mm to 10 x 50 mm, in timber grades suited to both interior and exterior applications. For installations that may need to be dismantled, DOMINO core connectors and furniture fittings enable sturdy yet removable assemblies.

This set is supplied complete with a DOMINO cutter D5, additional stop, trim stop, cross stop, open-ended spanner, WAF 8, a 4-metre plug-it power cable, and a Systainer SYS3 M 187 for organised storage and transport.
