- 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:

- 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

Well machined and adds great stability
Excellent addition to my domino. And, the free plans for the plywood jig for wide panels is great. I modified the jig so it will clip on my festool track for precise and easy placement of mortises. The clamped track plus the clipped-on jig provide the ultimate in stability and efficiency.

This product is exactly what I needed for making vertical plunge cuts with my Domino. Highly recommend for safer cuts with more accuracy.

Awesome Accessory
This is one of the best accessories I have bought for my domino. I used a base from a different manufacture and this is a night and day difference. Registration to my marks is easier, the edges are not sharp and the handle makes the whole system very steady. The only issue I have had, which is minor is the gaskets for the screw knobs have come off the screws a couple of times. Luckily, they have not been lost, YET.

Excellent engineering and manufacturing. It is most definitely a HUGE improvement over the bracket Festool supplies you with. It’s better not just from a larger support base, which is great don’t get me wrong. But the ability to actually be able to see and line things up is worth the price by itself. Your line of sight down to the cutter is just so much larger and easier on the eyesight. I am just starting to learn the capabilities of this and have been absolutely pleased with everything it does. The reason the majority of us use products like this is for the enjoyment of use. I can say every time I reach for it I get that little extra grin. ?

This is a very well-made piece of equipment. I really like how it adds stability when routing with my Festool 500 Domino.
