Festool DFC 500 E-Basic cordless dowel router

Every wood joint has its own advantages. The DOMINO joining system combines all of these benefits in one system, consisting of a cordless dowel joiner and DOMINO dowels. The unique oscillating routing motion of the DOMINO joiner mills precise, non-twisting mortises. DOMINO dowels combine the stability of finger joints with the flexible ease of use of biscuit joiners. It is ideal for thinner or solid workpieces and for both indoor and outdoor use. The cordless version with an ergonomic grip handle makes work even more comfortable because no power cord is needed.

• Independent: complete freedom of movement thanks to cordless operation – both in the workshop and on the jobsite
• Ergonomic: effortless working thanks to the ergonomic handle
• Precise: the unique oscillating routing principle ensures accurate and consistent machining
• Fast and easy: integrated indexing pins for repeated alignment of joining dowels
