Cordless Domino DFC500 (BASIC)

The Festool DFC 500 E-Basic Cordless DOMINO Joiner delivers precise, strong, and repeatable joinery with the freedom of cordless operation. Designed for professional woodworking, cabinetry, furniture making, and frame construction, it combines the strength of traditional mortise-and-tenon joints with the versatility and speed of the Festool DOMINO system.

Powered by Festool's 18V battery platform, the DFC 500 creates accurate mortises for DOMINO tenons that provide excellent alignment and resistance to twisting. Its ergonomic D-handle, adjustable routing settings, and integrated indexing pins make it easy to produce consistent joints in the workshop or on the jobsite.
