That was an incredibly helpful video. Exactly what I was looking for. If only more TH-camrs were as clear and concise as you guys the world would be a better place. Exceptional video. Subscribed.
Thanks!
Jon, thanks so much for this video. I purchased my DF 500 a few months back and just took it out for a large flag build I'm doing. It's rather intimidating at first. I appreciate the quick, in depth, video.
Great video. I love festool. Well worth every penny. I am about to purchase a dominoe for an upcoming barn door build, and this was very helpful to see the basics of how this operates👍
ooof. Leaving it plugged in while changing bits. Great video though! My new DF 500 is arriving in two days! I will definitely watch this a few more times. Thank you.
Very nice overview of this tool Jon!

Great explanation and video. Looking forward to seeing what projects you put the domino to use in.
Genius. Short and sweet and to the point. Thank you so much! Just bought my domino. Here I go!
Great video. Thank you. Honestly wish it was longer. You both are so clear and informative it was a pleasure of a video.
Good intro video to the Domino. Just keep in mind that there's much more it can do than the simple joint demonstrated here. Regarding having a Domino in lieu of both a Domino and a biscuit joiner. the cost of the tenons is considerable more than a biscuit, which is part of the reason I have both tools.
One of these is on my list plus it's big brother and possibly a Kapex. The Domino jointers give one the ability to do nice joinery work in a w/s or on the job without big machines, 👍 😁 🔨 🇮🇪

I too plan on buying the Festool Domino to use maybe only once or never. As of now I have a Leigh dove tail jig and Leigh mortiser, a Medusaw, tig and mig welders, a maxjax still in the box, countless of jigs and a chop saw that I have never used. Can't wait for this one to catch dust next.
One of the best video in regard of the Domino I have ever seen! Thank you very much guy's
Straight forward demo of the Domino, thanks. I have never seen a explanation of why the machine needs to be turned on before adjusting the slot width. I confess I adjust mine with the machine off many times. If it is so essential why hasn't Festool locked out the function unless the machine is turned on.

Nice video. I have got this one and and biscuit joiner (Lamello). I use both and could not do without any oft the two. For MDF or plywood 9-12mm size , biscuits (Lamello) is the way to go. Nice for delicate furniture projects.
Very clever designed tool, thanks for showing.
Best domino presentation I’ve seen! I’ve sold mortiser and radial arm saw - going to buy a domino this summer

Definitely helpful and exactly what I’ve been looking for in a domino video. Now...just need to buy one if they’re ever in stock again...
Stock on all things festool is hurtin.
Thank god I spent 400..00 bux on sandpaper 2 months ago. Woodcraft is low on everything
Yes looks fantastic four right angle cuts but would imagine you cannot be use for anything at 45° angle in all four corners?
Awesome. Been thinking about getting one but….serious purchase for my garage shop.
Its a tool you will use minimally but, when you do it speeds up a miserable process
I've got one for my garage shop, but as the other reply notes, it's a huge time saver. As I have limited time to work on projects, and virtually no time to fix mistakes, it's well worth the money to minimize work time building or redoing work.
My goodness is that cabinet behind you guys beautiful!!!!
Great presentation.
Great video and good to see use of mm instead of fractions of inches in videos! :)
Looks easy enough to use - Thanks Jon & Jeff. Spike (UK)
Perfect... just what I needed, thanks Jon! Best to you and yours!
This was educational. Thank you
Between this video and the LED Hardwax Oil I'm learning the things I wanted to.
Jeff, I definitely can’t afford one. But it was a Nice video, explanation and demonstration. Might have shown how it works for joining frames, risers, table legs etc:
Okay I was wondering how it moved the bit side to side. Wasn't ready for that oscillating motion though.
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Yes it was helpful! Thanks!🙌
Amazing tool
Can’t wait for other companies to be able to make versions of this

Drive the price down to something remotely affordable. Ryobi will probably have a 150 dollar 18v one+ knockoff that can do it well enough
You get what you pay for.
Be a long long long wait
They are expensive, but they are very valuable tools. I think you're just as far ahead to bit the bullet and buy the systainer with the assortment of dominos and all the bits at the same time as you buy the domino.

So basically a very expensive biscuit joiner is what I am getting from this . I do like Festool I have the track saw a sander and dust extractor but I am not seeing the point of this
It is not the same as a biscuit jointer. It is used for forming a tenon joint that is much stronger than a biscuit. It forms a structural joint that is orders of magnitude stronger than a biscuit.
Well done and informative - thank you.
So it appears there is horizontal movement available during the glue up. Is the vertical positioning locked with dominos or do you still need to clamp the boards 'flat' for doing a table?

wait what happens if you turn that width adjustment knob when the domino is not powered on? i ask because im positive i've only ever turned that knob with the machine off, what did i damage by doing this?
I think I checked earlier this year or last, and Festool's patent runs out '24 IIRC. I like the one machine that does dual dowels at 15-20% of the price. I hear the dominos themselves are rather expensive. Slick if you have the money or a business.
You could make the dominos easily enough... 😎👍☘🍺
Thinking of getting one but i cant see it replacing my biscuit jointer for alignment glue ups, It would be slower with the setting up and the cutting.

Great tutorial, thanks !
Thanks!
Thanks guys
Some good tips in there. Thanks
WOW WOW THATS A VERY NICE INFO AND TOOL 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👋🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
This is why some people dislike Festool, they make a one-trick pony and hang a $1500 price tag on it The Trick is a loose tenon joint easily accomplished with tools every woodworker own including a newbie like myself! Dust collection is another rip I built a separator about $100 including the shop vac Festool want nearly a thousand (mine desn't have the auto on feature but that is 30 bucks to add
If you enjoy hand tool wood working that is great. But the domino is a professional level tool that can be used to joint up in under an hour that would take a day using traditional methods.
How you change vertical position of hole ?
Good video, but always remove the plug when changing bits.
How often do you need to get a new bit?
Good job. Thank you 😊
Why is this better than a 50 dollar biscuit jointer? I use one for edge-to-edge glueups and a buiscuit jointer allows me to adjust the joint as well (like the medium setting on the domino)? I imagine the main benefit is that you can use it to glueup narrow pieces right?
Or just use a dowel jig at 1/10th the price. Are dominoes a solution looking for a problem?
It’s a better quality tool than a biscuit joiner, it’s a slip mortise and tenon tool. In most examples like face frames and things like that you can absolutely use a biscuit for alignment and be perfectly fine but where a mortise and tenon traditionally would be used this tool makes life so much easier.
Like everything depends what work you do, what level it needs to be and how long it has to last. I use it a lot for my hardwood casings and the like but I also use it for joinery. It’s super versatile.
@@garethkalber7236 You're comparing it to a biscuit. Compare it to a dowel jig.
@@waltcorey5115 he asked what the difference was I answered the question.
@@garethkalber7236 yeah, you're correct. However, literally right below this I asked a similar question but compared it to a doweling jig. At some point someone else will take the domino tool to market and charge $500, a 3rd entry then $350.
Beautiful work in this shop but come on guys, basic Festool training. ALWAYS remove the power connector ( Really Easy! ) When changing the bits. PLEASE!
Maybe unplug the machine before changing the cutter!
This helps. Thanks.
When you cut the first example, surely when edge joining boards, cutting one mortise larger to allow for adjustment defeats the entire purpose of using the domino in the first place, which is alignment in this scenario? You aren't using the dominos for strengh here.
I want! Thanks for the info!
Hubby loves it :)
Do a video on marking timber
Will do! I’m posting a video this weekend on how to make shiplap
Really great vid!
Thanks I wish this toll was affordable however
Show de bola um verdadeiro sonho de consumo.
Not in my budget for toys for the shop . Thanks for the info
That is because it is not a toy...it is a tool for professionals. Its value is in the time it saves building things. Faster build times=> more things built=> more things sold=> more money made. The target customers will make way more money from using it than what they paid for it.
Don’t forget to unplug it before changing the cutter.
Super machine شكرا thenkyou
Nice demo~! The domino is about the only Festool purchase I can see justifying for my shop. Would have to "re-home" my biscuit joiner.
Thanks, Jon~!
never make machine adjustments without disconnecting the power source otherwise good video----thanx rick
Awesome....
I’ve been looking for one for months, everyone is sold out until July at the earliest
You and I must have called US tool at the same time lol...wonder if festool is printing up demand for this it’s one of the hottest items they sell
güzel içerik olmuş tebrikler usta :):)
better instruction than from Festool
Here in Brazil you need the same amount of money to buy that or a car. Around 15.000 :(
I think the issue is Festool wants over $1000 for this. The are the only company that offers this and compare the usefulness of a domino at $1,000 entry to a dowel at under $100 for the jig.
If you earn your living or have plenty of disposable income, it seems to be a nice tool. But I agree, there are some nice dowel jigs out there that will provide the same functionality albeit at a reduced throughput.
have too disagree, I've used a lamello jointer for many years and done 1000's of cabinets with it, and its the best and fastest way to put cabinets together, when I need to make a slot mortise I use my slot mortiser, that is the best and most versatile way to put furniture together.
At $1200 its not for your average consumer, its a commercial price and that's for the smaller of the two. I'll stick with dowels and drill bits, hasn't let me down yet.
Why hasn't anyone including the Chinese come up with something cheaper?
@@aberbaWho do you think makes the components? It is chinese, assembled in the US and marked up 100000%
@@maddoxinc1642nope it’s German that’s why it’s better than anything made over here
@@maddoxinc1642It’s made in Germany
Wait to you see the price of the Lamello. Makes this look like a bargain.
I like this domino but can't afford 👊👍
I to had a biscuit jointer and changed to the domino 500. Yes like most Festool tools it is way to expensive but does do an excellent job. And crying (a tad) over cost of tools is still manly. A better than usual how to use video though.

bom dia tudo bem? sou surdo meu nome Jonas, quero dar mim Festool Domino DF 500, aqui brasil nao tem.
I used to look forward to your videos, What I liked was you used tools that most of us could afford and you turned out some beautiful work. Sadly ( for me anyway) in the last year or so you seem to have went full on into the super-high end luxury tools like all the other '"Big TH-camr's", I made your Blanket chest several years back after watching your videos thinking ,I can do that with my tools. I know its not the tools but the skill. I'll still watch your channel, but its just not the same anymore.
Why on earth does he have his hat on backwards.
Sorry, but I feel I have to post this... at 2:53, 3:40, 6:18, 6:50 in the video, that is not where you want your fingers. If you make a mistake on the depth setting or choose the wrong bit your fingers are going to pay a serious price.
I can’t wait for other companies to be able to build these… so everyone can be dissatisfied with the crappy quality of Chinese-made junk and go buy a Festool. Ok, here’s hoping Makita or Dewalt make one that isn’t garbage. Until then, I’ll stick with the Domino or the router jig.
Maybe if Kreg builds one, we will be able to pop in the orange or blue stores and buy Dominos on the weekend. That’ll be nice.
First?
Nicht quatchen, aber machen!
nope $1100 still not explained at all
It's 1200 and it's a great tool
@@martinsuperstar6049 maybe for someone. I definitely prefer just to model and 3d print a little frame with self-centering clamp for palm router to secure it on the board on required place and have just enough movement back and forth for the domino's hole, and it will solve the same hole problem for $0
@@sergio.i
By the time you have done all of that you may as well cut the joint by hand.
Yours for 12 easy payments of $99.99! But wait.. there's more...
Waste of money
Turn your hat around. Don’t trust a carpenter that Carry their tools in a bucket or where their hat backwards.
I have a hard time taking the word of someone who doesn't even know the difference between the front & back of a baseball cap.
The guy's got his own business there bud. I doubt he cares if you take his word or not.
Its a preference to wear a hat like that. Your comment is pretty weird and ridiculous, but thats just my opinion. Alot of carpenters, painters and people in the trades wear a hat backwards. It means absolutely nothing especially considering that this guy does have his own woodworking business.
Agree! What a useless comment, commenting on personal attire that has nothing to do with safety (such as wearing gloves at a table saw, or loose-fitting clothing that might get caught in some machinery). I am a woodturner and when I first starting wearing a face shield, I would wear a ball cap for comfort, but it got turned around since the bill interfered with the shield. I now have a “do-rag” that makes a face shield more comfortable to wear. I guess some would say I am wearing biker-wear and it has no place in a shop.
@@Caleb-vr1miof course it’s your opinion… what else would it be?
