Why choose the Festool QA-DF 500/700?

This accessory is designed to solve one of the main challenges in carpentry – accurate and repeatable drilling. It allows you to work with the confidence that each joint will be identical to the last.

• Absolute precision without measuring: the built-in, easy-to-read scale allows you to set the exact milling distance from the edge of the material in the range from 100 to 205 mm. This eliminates the need for manual marking with pencil and tape measure, thus reducing the risk of human error and speeding up the work process.
• Ideal for wide materials: When working with large parts such as cabinet sides, shelves or table tops, maintaining accurate distances is critical. The cross-hole allows you to easily create perfect pin rows, ensuring stable and aesthetically pleasing furniture joints.
• Speed and efficiency: fitting the accessory to the DOMINO router is lightning fast and requires no additional tools. You can attach and remove it in seconds, which is particularly important in a dynamic working environment. The included left and right hand stops allow flexible use in different situations.
• Versatile and flexible: the cross-hole is fully compatible with all popular Festool DOMINO milling cutters – DF 500, DF 500 R, DFC 500 and DF 700. This means that one accessory will serve several of your tools, making it a valuable long-term investment.

Working steps for perfect results

Follow these simple steps to achieve the best result:

1. Select the left or right abutment and attach it to the base of the DOMINO router at the designated points. The fixing is quick and stable, without tools.
2. Using the built-in scale, adjust the abutment to the desired distance from the centre of the router (e.g. 150 mm). Tighten the locking screw.
3. Making the first drill: Place the DOMINO milling cutter at the edge of the workpiece and make the first drill.
4. Repeated milling: Move the milling cutter further along the workpiece. Now insert the cross pin into the previously drilled hole. This will serve as a perfect reference point for the next milling, ensuring the exact distance between the holes is set. Repeat this process to create the perfect row of pins.
