Best accessory I've bought for my XL DF700
I make quite a few tables where the side walls and dividers are joined to the top/bottom with dominos. Before buying this bigfoot, the originally provided plastic base for making mortises in panel faces was just lacking. The ease and sturdiness of the aluminum base has not only made the process faster, but the ease makes it more enjoyable to use. If I could leave it on 24/7 and would fit in the systainer, I would just leave it on.

DBF-45 for Domino a confidence builder
This replacement vertical support for both Festool Domino models marks a vast improvement over the standard, plastic support. Like the original, installing this support requires placing the domino and the support on the same flat surface and then installing the mounting screws with both parts referencing the same plane. The Bigfoot gives me much more confidence in vertical domino plunges than the stock Festool support. The large handle and the parallax free pointer are very well executed.

Fills a need
Makes it far, far easier to make the face cut for the big Domino connectors.

Domino XL DF 700 Bigfoot
Install this on your Domino, then simply marvel at the precision of the alignment of the two screw holes and the edge of the right angle base to the face of the Domino. Definitely adds stability and grip options for the right angle plunge.

Great for support on vertical mortises
It's amazing to add to the Domino xl 700. Only negative is that there is no option to offset to account for use with the Seneca woodworking imperial domi-shim SWDS02.

Big foot bracket
The Big foot Bracket makes the domino jointer feel 100% sturdier when plunging downward into the surface . Thanks

Big Foot
I bought the Big Foot thinking it would see only occasional use. I find i have it mounted one my Domino almost all the time. It is a huge improvement over the support that comes standard with the Domino. The Big Foot is well made and attaches to the Domino quickly and true.

DBF-45
Every now and then I browse through TSO's website to see if they have any new tools on offer. When I saw the bigfoot I had to have it. I use it on my XL 700 and find that not only does it steady the Domino in plunge on horizontal surfaces, but also adds more stability for close to edge work....absolutely no rocking around. This is not to take away from the standard one that Festool supply, but the DBF-45 gives me a whole new level of confidence. One other thing is that the handle is great for checking a watchful eye from the back of the domino when plunging, I don't have to crane my head around to see what is going on. Thanks TSO!
