The cordless DFC 500 gives you the iconic Domino joiner with the freedom of working without being tied down to a cord. This may translate into some new outdoor builds, or just more conveniently in a crowded shop. Either way, the Domino will enable you to build cabinets, tables, frames with confidence, efficiency and ease.
We have written so much about the Domino over the years - and with good reason: the Domino combined the strength of a mortise and tenon joint with the speed of a biscuit joiner with the strength of a mortise and tenon joint. It is unsurpassed at what it does. This new cordless version serves those woodworkers who prefer cordless tools without compromising the Domino quality.
The Domino 500 (no matter whether corded and cordless) comes with a 5 mm cutter. Other sizes - 4, 6, 8 and 10 cutters - are sold separately, as are the Domino tenons.
Batteries and chargers are sold separately. The DFC500 requires one 18V battery to operate.
Also sold separately: the Trim Stop and Cross Stop (included with the corded DF500). The Trim stop is designed to hold narrow material between 7/8" - 2 3/4" so that you can easily put a mortise in the end of the material. This attachment is typically used for smaller rails. The Cross Stop is designed to let you easily space a series of mortises across a board. What you do is use the stop of the Domino to place the first mortise, and then use the Cross Stop to hook onto the just-made mortise to index the location to the next mortise. This gives you tremendous accuracy and saves having to lay out the mortise locations across the board. Mortise spacing can be adjusted from 3 7/8" - 8 1/16".
