Collection: Shop Festool Domino Joiner

Shop Festool Domino joiners, tenons and cutters. A Domino cuts a mortise with an oscillating and rotating cutter, so you get a tight, slightly elongated slot that registers a loose tenon as strongly as a traditional mortise and tenon, set up in seconds instead of hours. The DF 500 handles cabinets, face frames and furniture; the DF 700 XL handles doors, beds, tables and timber work. Call 888-714-1410 or email sales to match tenon sizes to your stock.

Festool Domino Joiners Buying Guide

DF 500 Q

The Domino DF 500 Q-Set is the standard Domino for cabinet and furniture makers. Buy it as a kit with 1,060 tenons and you have the common sizes ready to go.

DF 700 EQ XL

The Domino XL DF 700 cuts mortises up to 70 mm deep for tenons up to 14 mm thick, for entry doors, bed frames and large tables. The DF 700 Systainer set adds tenon assortments.

Tenons & cutters

Beech tenons are the standard for interior work; Sipo (mahogany) tenons are for exterior and high-moisture joints. Each tenon thickness needs the matching cutter, so check the cutter diameter when ordering a new tenon size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Festool DF 500 or DF 700: which Domino do I need?
Choose the DF 500 if most of your work is cabinets, face frames and furniture in stock under 2 in. thick. Choose the DF 700 XL for doors, beds, tables and outdoor work where you need tenons 10-14 mm thick and up to 140 mm long. Some shops own both.

What size Domino tenon should I use?
A common rule is a tenon about one-third the thickness of the stock. For 3/4 in. cabinet stock use 5 or 6 mm tenons; for 1-1/2 in. stock use 8 or 10 mm. Make the mortise depth roughly equal on both pieces.

Beech or Sipo Domino tenons?
Beech tenons are strong and inexpensive and suit interior furniture and cabinets. Sipo (African mahogany) tenons resist moisture and rot, so use them for exterior doors, garden furniture, and anything in a damp environment.

Can I use the same cutters on the DF 500 and DF 700?
No. The DF 500 and DF 700 use different cutter shanks. Order cutters for your specific machine and match the cutter diameter to the tenon thickness.

What are the Domino connectors for?
Domino KV and SV knock-down connectors fit in DF 700 mortises and let you assemble and disassemble furniture such as beds and large tables without visible hardware.
