That lets you start joining right away and figure out which size you actually use most before buying refill packs. Strong Beech TenonsThe solid hardwood beech tenons are built for real mortise and tenon work in plywood and solid wood. Their flat shape helps prevent rotation, so parts stay aligned during glue-up. DF 500 OrganizationThis Festool tenon assortment is packed in a Systainer3 with three removable storage bins and dividers. It keeps the DOMINO sizes separated, easy to grab, and easy to restock on the bench or on site.
Overview
Festool 576794 Domino DF 500 1,060-Piece Tenon Assortment Systainer3 with Cutters is a complete accessory kit built around the Festool DOMINO DF 500 joining system. This is a tenon assortment and cutter kit designed for mortise and tenon joinery in furniture, cabinetmaking, casing, and frame work. Model Number: 576794. If you own a DF 500 and want the most-used tenon sizes on hand without piecing everything together one box at a time, this kit makes a lot of sense.
The big value here is range. You get six tenon sizes: 4 x 20 mm, 5 x 30 mm, 6 x 40 mm, 8 x 40 mm, 8 x 50 mm, and 10 x 50 mm, with a total of 1,060 tenons. Festool also includes five matching cutters in 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm. For anyone learning the DOMINO system or setting up a shop around it, that means less guesswork. You can match the joint to the stock thickness and application instead of forcing one size to do every job.
The beech tenons themselves are more than just shaped dowels. Festool uses solid hardwood beech for strength and stability, and the flat, elongated shape helps keep parts from rotating during assembly. That matters when you are gluing face frames, cabinet parts, rails and stiles, or furniture components and you want the joint to register accurately without fighting alignment. The tenons are also embossed with glue pockets, and Festool notes they are about 2 mm shorter than nominal length so there is room in the mortise for glue.
In practical use, this assortment works across both plywood and solid wood applications. Festool specifically calls out that the dense beech tenons will not expand or telegraph through the material, which is important when you are working with visible surfaces and need clean, flat assemblies after clamping. That makes this a good fit for cabinet boxes, edge joining, frame construction, and furniture parts where surface quality matters as much as holding strength.
The storage side is a real selling point too. Instead of loose tenon boxes stacked around the bench, everything comes in a Systainer3 with three removable plastic bins and dividers. You can sort by size, keep cutters with the assortment, and carry the whole setup to the jobsite or from machine station to assembly bench. If you use the DF 500 regularly, organization is not a luxury here. It saves time every time you switch material thickness or joint size.
Compatibility is straightforward. This assortment is suitable for the Festool DF 500 and includes the cutter sizes that pair with the included tenons. It is not a generic biscuit or dowel kit. It is a DOMINO-focused system accessory intended to let the DF 500 do a wider range of joinery without extra shopping. That makes it especially useful for shops that build mixed work, where one day is cabinet parts and the next is furniture frames or trim assemblies.
Who should buy it? Woodworkers, cabinet installers, finish carpenters, and serious DIYers who already own or are committing to a Festool DOMINO DF 500. If you only use one tenon size once in a while, individual tenon packs may be enough. But if you want the full range, matching cutters, and organized storage from day one, this kit is the cleanest way to get there.

This kit is built to take the trial-and-error out of DOMINO size selection. With the common DF 500 tenon sizes laid out in one Systainer3, you can move from thinner stock to heavier joinery without stopping to order more accessories.
- Includes 1,060 total beech tenons in six sizes
- Includes five cutters: 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm
Built for Accurate Joinery
The shape of a DOMINO tenon is what makes the system work so well. It acts like a floating tenon, but the flat profile helps keep parts from twisting during assembly, which makes glue-up a lot less fussy.
- Solid hardwood beech for strength and stability
- Flat elongated design helps maintain edge and face alignment
Glue-Up Friendly Details
Festool did the small stuff right here. The tenons have embossed glue pockets, and they are slightly shorter than nominal length to leave space for adhesive inside the mortise instead of hydraulic pressure pushing parts apart.
- Embossed surface helps distribute glue inside the joint
- Approximately 2 mm shorter than nominal length for glue clearance
Organized Storage That Actually Helps
A mixed-size assortment only works if you can find what you need fast. The included Systainer3 and removable bins keep sizes separated, cutters protected, and the whole kit easy to carry from machining to assembly.
- Includes three removable plastic storage bins with dividers
- Systainer3 keeps tenons and cutters together in one case
