Product Description
You can make flawless mortises every single time, thanks to Festools new Domino joining system! Joining no longer has to be a slow, difficult process. The Domino Joiner, with its revolutionary cutting method, utilizes a patented mortising technique, simple indexing features, and adjustable mortise sizing to make flawless mortises. Powerful 420 watt motor drives the cutter spindle at 23,400 RPM. Precise positioning and accurate mortising with the viewing window. Use 1 of 3 mortise width adjustments for perfectly fitting joints and fast assembly; easy to adjust while the jointer is operating. Cut long mortises in an instant thanks to the simultaneous turning and oscillating movement without kickback. 11/16" dust port extracts up to 95 of chips generated when used in conjunction with any one of Festools vacuum systems. Retractable stop pins for quick and precise positioning of the initial domino tenon on both work pieces. Five catch positions at 0, 22.5, 45, 67.5, and 90 degrees, as well as infinitely variable mortising angles from 0 to 90 degrees. Simple, precise mortising fence height adjustment (with scale) offers accurate stops for locating mortising opening in the center of material thicknesses: 16, 20, 22, 25, 28, and 40mm. Quick, precise adjustment for 5 different mortising depths. Robust inner mechanism for consistently accurate routing results. Works on everything from face frames and work pieces as small as 1" x 5/8", to large projects and heavy furniture. Uses pre-fabricated, solid beech domino tenons for superior strength.

First Festool, very impressed
By Stumbling Sober
I have now realized that Festool is much like Apple, in that once you have one of them, you are obligated to get more of them...well, at least the shop vac and hose.It came with a 5mm bit but no dominoes, which I knew it wouldn't. If the 5mm dominoes are sufficient for you out of the gate, just buy a bag of dominoes. If you want to get more bits, it's cheaper to get the jumbo Systainer.
I have built an end table and an art table since I got this and I love it. Beware, there is a learning curve. My biggest problem was not being able to get uniform vertical (flush) fitting joints. This is due to where and how much pressure you're applying to the tool, making sure you're not indexing off the bench, and also ensuring you plunge at a certain speed.
Yes, it's all metric. Deal with it.

Life saver!
By chucksdust
Sometimes you have to take the tool to the work piece and the Domino is just the tool to do that with!
I can't tell you how many times this has pulled me through in a jam. Well worth the hefty price tag in my book.
Cheers

This is my second Festool purchase and I must say the attention to detail and quality is superb. I have a lot of power tools but will slowly be replacing them all with Festool.
