Its unique pendulum routing action simultaneously rotates and moves the cutter from side to side, producing clean, accurately formed elongated mortises for Festool DOMINO dowels. The resulting joint combines the strength of a traditional mortise-and-tenon connection with the speed and flexibility of a modern loose-tenon system.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe updated guide frame, stable column guide and four integrated stop pins make repeat positioning remarkably quick. Mortises can be created from a reference edge or an existing DOMINO mortise, reducing the need for time-consuming marking and measurement. The machine can produce either a close-fitting mortise or a wider mortise with assembly clearance, helping adjoining workpieces align accurately while accommodating minor positioning differences.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive RQ-Set includes the DF 500 RQ joining machine, a 5mm DOMINO cutter and a valuable selection of stops for narrow workpieces, repeated hole spacing and accurately joining strips or frame components. With routing angles from 0° to 90°, five preset routing depths and compatibility with DOMINO cutters from 4mm to 10mm, it is equally at home producing delicate drawer components, strong cabinet joints, solid timber frames and stable mitre connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eThe speed of a dowel joint with the strength of a mortise and tenon\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe oval DOMINO dowel provides a large gluing surface, expanding glue pockets and excellent resistance to twisting.
