Bigfoot
I've been looking for a plate like this for a long time. The Bigfoot not only replaces the stock fence, but extends it's use with 1/2" templates for doing mortises in panels.

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 Bigfoot
Great addition to my Festool family, works great.

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.
