Unpacked it, and used it immediately. Can’t understand how I did without it for all this time.

DBF-45 BIGFOOT V2.0 BASE SYSTEM FOR FESTOOL DOMINO
The BIGFOOT makes the Domino a lot more stable to use. The cuts are easier to make to install center shelves into bookshelves and cabinets. This is the absolute best add-on item I have purchased for my Domino.

Working vertically with this foot is very safe and much better than the original from Festool!

I used the base for the first time and it performed very well. My only complaint came with the lack of documentation. Customer service tried to help but were unable to provide written documentation I could give to my employees..
