PLEASE NOTE - PREORDER for October 2025

Connect with precision, stability, and versatility: the cordless DOMINO.

 

Key Features

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.

  • Independent: 100% mobile with battery – whether you're in the workshop or on-site.
  • Ergonomic: Work without fatigue thanks to the comfy handle.
  • Precise: One-of-a-kind pendulum milling principle for accurate, effortless work.
  • Quick and easy: Built-in stop pins for repeating dowel placement.
  • Stable: Super stable and twist-proof joints thanks to the unique shape of the DOMINO dowel.
  • Versatile: DOMINO plugs come in various sizes from 4 x 20 mm to 10 x 50 mm and in two types of wood for indoor and outdoor use.
  • Sorted: The routing depths are just right for the dowel lengths and panel materials.
  • Flexible: The DOMINO core connectors and furniture fittings let you create sturdy furniture setups that can be taken apart again.
  • System: Accessories are a perfect fit for the whole DOMINO system.

Strengths and benefits

  • 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.
  • Independent of the 18V battery system. The DOMINO in the 18-volt system for use on the building site – no need for a power source. Totally mobile with a cordless vacuum and no extra cable.
  • Spade Handle. Work without fatigue thanks to the ergonomic handle with soft grip.
  • Pendulum cutting principle. Unique to manual machines: the routing motion of the DOMINO Joining machine. The simultaneous rotation and pendulum action of the cutter makes working smooth and creates a precise elongated hole. Thanks to the pendulum movement, the cutters don’t overheat, giving them an incredibly long lifespan.
  • 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!
  • 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.
