Extra Information
- This cutter set is suitable for the Festool DOMINO DF 500 joining machine.
- The set includes 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm cutters.

Pro Tips
- Choose the largest practical DOMINO tenon size for the workpiece thickness when maximum joint strength is required.
- Use the smaller 4mm and 5mm cutters for lighter cabinet and furniture components where material thickness is limited.
- Always make a test mortise in scrap material when changing cutter size or setting up a new joint layout.
- Keep cutters clean from resin and dust build-up to maintain smooth cutting and accurate mortise sizing.
- Do not force the DF 500 through the plunge; let the cutter work at a steady, controlled feed rate.
- Mark reference faces clearly before cutting mortises to keep joint alignment consistent across all parts.
