Who uses it
The DOMINO DF 500 replaced traditional dowelling and biscuit jointing for many furniture makers and joiners, letting them cut precise mortises for loose tenons quickly. It has no direct equivalent from the other brands in this catalogue, which is part of its appeal to Festool users.
Closest alternative
The model most often cross-shopped against the DF 500 RQ-Set is the Lamello Zeta biscuit jointer.
