Festool LA-DF 500/700 Slat stop – for DOMINO dowel milling machines, 493487

Festool LA-DF 500/700 Slat stop for fast and precise centring of slats.

The Festool LA-DF 500/700 is a specialised accessory designed to ensure maximum precision and efficiency with Festool DOMINO dowel milling machines. This tool is an indispensable tool when making joints in frames and framing, as it allows fast and precise centring of the milling in narrow mouldings, eliminating the need for time-consuming measuring and marking. Its clever design and ease of use make it a valuable addition to the workshop for both professionals and beginners who strive for perfect results.

Main advantages and benefits

• Absolute precision without measuring: the stop ensures perfect centring of the milling on the workpiece using the side stops. You no longer have to spend time manually measuring and marking every connection point.
• Quick and easy set-up: Thanks to the integrated scale, the moulding width can be set in seconds. The hole can be attached to the router support table quickly and without additional tools.
• This slat stop is compatible with all Festool DOMINO dowel milling machines (DF 500, DF 500 R, DFC 500 and DF 700), making it a flexible solution for your tool system.
• Efficiency and time-saving: by automating the centring process, you significantly speed up your workflow, especially for batch jobs such as furniture frames or window frames.
• Stable and reliable joints: precisely centred DOMINO dowel joints are not only aesthetically pleasing, they also guarantee maximum strength and durability of the structure.

Steps for use

Follow these simple steps to ensure correct and efficient operation:

1. Attach the stop: Attach the LA-DF 500/700 stop to the support table of your DOMINO milling machine without tools. Make sure it is firmly locked in place.
2. Set the slat width: Using the built-in scale, adjust the stops of the stops according to the width of the slat to be machined (from 22 to 70 mm). The supplied headless screws can be used for an initial, accurate calibration.
3. Position the workpiece: Place the milling machine on the workpiece so that the moulding is tight against both stops. This will automatically centre the milling machine in relation to the centre line of the moulding.
4. Turn on the milling machine and mill the DOMINO dowel hole. The stop will ensure that each milling is perfectly centred.
