DBF-45 BIGFOOT V2.0 BASE SYSTEM FOR FESTOOL
Love it. Gives more stability and accuracy.

Festool Domino Meets Bigfoot
Having a large adapter to help hold vertical Domino plunges is a nice addition to my toolset.

DBF-45 Bigfoot 2.0
I have not had the chance to use it on a full project yet however it was immediately clear how much more stability this gives over the included support bracket from festool, which i have always had trouble with. The 90 angle on the bigfoot is dead on accurate. The package arrived missing the star knobs but after an email to TSO support they immediately sent them to me.

Makes the domino even better
After struggling with getting 90 degree dominos aligned i took the plunge and bought the bigfoot. I'd tried a 3d printed version of it first, which helped but wasn't rigid enough and didn't stop movement. The bigfoot makes the domino so stable and the large handle helps a lot too. Love it!

Big Foot
I purchased it to help do plunge dominos close to the edge of drawer sides. The Big Foot helped stabilize the domino instead of using the plastic base that comes with the domino. The second set of drawers fit together much better than the first.
