The new 18-volt Cordless Domino DFC 500 gives you full mobility in the shop, on the jobsite or out in the yard to work freely without a power cord or outlet. Its D-handle provides optimal control and comfort, even for long work sessions. The tool cuts quick, precise mortises with the ease and simplicity of a biscuit cutter. One plunge creates a perfect, smooth-sided mortise that is precisely sized to accept a Domino loose tenon, creating an incredibly strong joint in stock as narrow as 7/8'' wide. A universal joinery system with endless applications, the Domino is stronger and more versatile than biscuits or dowels and requires no cumbersome jigs and fixtures. A 5mm cutter is included. Four other cutter sizes (#GRP18852_1, sold separately) machine precise mortises up to 10mm.
Self-referencing pins let you cut rows of perfectly spaced mortises with no need to measure and mark. Mortise width is adjustable in three increments with the turn of a knob, to suit snug fits or looser joints where some lateral movement is desired. The fence tilts from 0 to 90°, with stop positions at 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, 90°, and smooth, precise machining throughout makes for an incredibly quiet machine. Whether you're working indoors or out, on delicate trim or thick panels, Domino gives you the stability and versatility you need to connect with confidence.
