The Ultimate Base System for Festool DOMINO DF500 & DF700XL

Incorporating feedback from the TSO user community, the new BigFoot™ DBF-45 v2.0 base system packs all the innovations of the original BigFoot:
- Massive surface area for super stability
- Big T-handle for control
- Large open viewport and parallax-free cursor
- Easy on/off with star grip knobs
- Stores easily inside both DF 500 and DF 700 XL systainers
Plus adds the following new features to make your Festool DOMINO system even more useful:
- Mounting points and included hardware for attaching shop-built auxiliary fence, customized to the length of your choice (free plans downloadable below)
- When used in conjunction with auxiliary fence, enables wide panel face mortising with speed and precision
- Three (3) additional parallax-free cursors provide more alignment choices for mortise centerline locations
- Still fits both Festool DOMINO DF 500 and DX 700 XL—and easily fits in both systainers

The TSO BIGFOOT BRACKET is one accessory I have to have the original one is made if plastic and there are no handles to hold it firmly down. BIGFOOT has a nice handle that feels good and solid to hold down my Domino 700 xl with no chance of movement
I would buy a second one when I buy my DOMINO 500. This device holds the tool in the upright position ROCK STEADY.

Nice addition to Domino
I find this adds a lot of stability for domino plunging in the middle of wood pieces where you want accurate alignment and an ability to hold the domino tool accurately. Definitely adds confidence on placing dominos.

TSO Bigfoot
The Bigfoot is well machined with quality knobs and handle. The machined pointer lines up exactly with the machine centre line. The Bigfoot is indeed big with a much larger footprint than the Festool plastic version. Overall it adds stability and firm engagement allowing accurate mortises.

Home Run
I recently cut some Domino mortises and used the Festool supplied plastic foot. Although it's better than nothing, it doesn't offer stable support for the 700 XL. When I saw the Bigfoot was about to be released I was excited to give it a try. I got one as soon as they came out of production. Eric and the gang scored again with this product. I ran some test mortises using the Bigfoot and got great, consistent results. It provides a very stable platform for the Domino. It takes about five seconds to install (I can live with this…). And when installed, it stays on the plane of the Domino foot. I highly recommend that frequent Domino users grab one and throw it in your systainer (yeah, it fits perfectly in the tray that comes in the Domino sys).
