Joining has always been a slow, difficult process. Never again, thanks to the Festool Domino joining system.The Festool 574432 Domino Joiner DF 500 Q Set B004SETSXE comes with the following : Cross stop, Domino DF 500 7/32 (5mm) cutter, Open ended spanner WAF8, Trim stop in a systainer sys 2 T-Loc. The Domino joiner, with its revolutionary cutting method, simple indexing features and adjustable mortise sizing, makes flawless mortises every single time. The Domino tenon is equally as impressive - it is 100% rotation-proof and far stronger than either biscuits or dowels. It also has a large gluing surface area for extra strength. The unique, patented cutting mechanism consists of a spiral cutter with carbide tip that oscillates as it rotates to create perfect mortises time after time. This action creates a clean entry for a perfectly flush surface while preventing heat build up in the tooling for long cutter life. The Domino joiner is a simple tool to use with angle, depth and height adjustment scales with positive stops for repeated work and accurate indexing. The included stop pins allow for consistent indexing against the workpiece edge which is critical for perfect alignment when joining panels. Create precise, solid joints for your largest or smallest projects. The Domino is portable and ergonomic and lets you take the tool to the work for precise joint placement. The adjustable fence for mitered and beveled joints ranges from 0 to 90º with positive stops at 22.5, 45, 67.5, and 90º. Straightforward adjustments for mortise width and depth, and material height. An available range of tenon sizes and types for maximum joint stability across many different applications. The Domino system is above all economical and efficient. The fast, easy alignment and repeatability of accurate mortises dramatically reduces set-up time and enhances your quality of work. The set version includes additional Festool accessories Trim Stop for registering on narrow pieces and Cross Stop for repeat mortise indexing. Made in Germany.

This is not as brainless as one might hope. Its important to pay attention to how you use it (push in the back at cord and hold straight/flush, check that its lined up before each plunge) but it is relatively fast and if marking the lines, very easy. I use auto spacer, but i sometimes run into issues. Lining up dash marks is faster with less double checking required.Do i regret small versus large? The smallest setting (4mm) is extremely problematic to be almost worthless. 5 and 6mm are my goto for most projects with counter tops and this goes up to 10mm which works on all my projects. Small was definitely the right size as I’m primarily working with 1/2â€-3/4†material up to 2â€.I needed the small adapter for my Festool dust extractor as Festool has two different hose sizes and I went large.I went oversize on my holes. I found that attempting to have too tight of a tolerance just lead to headaches. I always regretted too tight and never too loose. Of note, switching the hole width requires the machine to be on else to risk damage. This should be reflected in big flashing letters. Think about switching gears on a bike while not moving. When it moves, bad things can happen. I put painters tape on the switch to remind me and thankfully it didn’t bite me the one or two times I did it before reading.Unlike some other Festool products I have zero complaints. Drill bit switching is easy and I enjoy working with this tool. The big complaint is price, but it’s first to market and well thought out and well designed. When the patent expires, definitely check out other brands. Until then live with pocket screws, biscuits, or dowels unless you’re okay with this price.

Updating to 5 starsI’m still not happy about the condition of the tool when I received it but after using it a few times I feel like it deserves a 5 star review. It’s expensive but the build quality, design and functionality of this tool is AMAZING. This has become my new favorite tool and if you can afford one I would highly recommend buying one. You really have to use it to fully appreciate what it is. I have absolutely no regrets about buying it and after using it, I couldn’t imagine not having it. Also, the dust collection on this thing is far better than any other tool I own. I always wear a respirator when working in the shop but don’t feel the need to when using this tool. There is literally no sawdust escaping this thing.Original Review:This is one awesome tool but mine looks like it was already used. The body of the tool and handle on the fence are a little scuffed up. It’s true that this slight cosmetic damage could have occurred during shipping but the cutter also had sawdust on it right out of the box. I would recommend buying locally if possible.

I think once you get far enough into the Festool world, it's easier to realize that the upfront cost for some of these things don't make sense, but that the overall value you get from the system means you don't really have to care about that too much. Case in point is the purchase of a domino - I think many people are taken aback by the price for the seemingly limited functionality (I know I was). But it's just so easy, so useful, and SO fast, that the tool can pay for itself in a couple of days of work. Occasionally, I have to fix furniture, and I can't tell you how many times a simple repair went from a 2 hour project down to 20 minutes.I really wish they figured out a way to have one machine do all the domino sizes supported by the regular domino and the domino XL. That would certainly add even more value. As it is, I decided to do the smaller Domino, and it has been a good choice. The couple of times I wished for XL, I could still pull off what I needed to do with multiple Dominos, whereas I've done a ton of projects that there is no way I could have used the XL. I fear one day I will need to own both, but if you are a general purpose user (i.e. you're not making doors, beds, and other large items on a daily basis), the smaller guy is probably the right choice.

As the Brits might say, a bit “fiddly†until one gets fluent in the set up. At that point, it becomes WOW! Unless you’re doing through mortises for show, this is WAY easier than even using a dedicated mortise machine. (I have one and I’ve used it a LOT.). Far more precise than biscuits. I’ve never been a dowel guy, so I can’t comment there. FAR more elegant than a pocket hole jig and yet still easier to use. Pricey for sure, AND you probably want the Woodpecker Mortise Match accessory tool. As a hobbyist that’s not afraid to invest in the best tools, this is REALLY cool. It’s a joy to use and you’ll be blown away at how quickly a cabinet comes together.

My first Festool piece and I must say that now I understand what is that hype all about. The quality is outstanding, the engineering is marvellous. Dust collection is perfect even with the 3rd party DC unit and hose. The most important part, the unit does its job perfectly.

Everything was great! Not a single thing to complain about. I use it for my table leg and tabletop joinery.
