Product Description
CMT Router Bit for Domino XL Joining - 8mm Right-Hand is a precision spiral cutting tool engineered specifically for use with the Festool DF700 Domino joinery machine. Designed to rout accurate mortise slots in solid wood and wood composite panels, this bit delivers the consistent, clean results that furniture makers, cabinet assemblers, and joiners depend on. Built from extra-fine micrograin carbide with a premium super-strength steel body, it combines durability with cutting performance for demanding production and shop environments.
Key Features
- Extra-Fine Micrograin Carbide Spiral Portion - the cutting edges maintain sharpness longer through dense hardwoods and abrasive wood composites, reducing the need for frequent bit changes during production work.
- Black PTFE Coating on the Spiral Portion - the non-stick PTFE finish resists pitch, resin, and glue buildup on the flutes, keeping the bit cutting freely and reducing drag during plunge and oscillating cuts.
- Premium Super-Strength Steel Body - the robust steel construction withstands the oscillating motion and lateral forces generated by Domino joinery machines, providing stability and long service life.
- 2 Cutting Edges with 2 Spiral Flutes (Z2) - dual cutting edges and spiral flute geometry work together to clear chips efficiently and produce clean, flat-bottomed mortise slots with minimal tearout in both solid wood and panel materials.
- Right-Hand (RH) Rotation - matches the spindle direction of the Festool DF700, ensuring proper chip evacuation and safe, correct engagement with the machine.
- M8x1mm Threaded Shank - threads directly into the Festool DF700 spindle for a secure, wobble-free connection that preserves slot positioning accuracy across repeated cuts.
- 50mm Cutting Height - provides sufficient depth capacity for cutting mortise slots sized to accept standard Domino XL loose tenons in thick stock and solid wood components.
Why This Product
- Engineered as a direct-fit replacement and upgrade bit for the Festool DF700 Domino machine, with an M8x1mm threaded shank that installs without adapters or modification - keeping your joinery workflow uninterrupted.
- The combination of extra-fine micrograin carbide and PTFE spiral coating makes this bit well suited for repetitive slot cutting in both solid hardwood and wood composites like MDF, chipboard, and plywood, where resin and glue buildup can degrade lesser bits quickly.
- At 90mm total length with a 50mm cutting height, this bit provides the reach and depth capacity needed for Domino XL joinery applications in thicker workpieces and frame-and-panel construction.
- Made in Italy by CMT, a manufacturer known for precision carbide tooling - the 5/16 in. diameter and Z2 geometry are matched to the slot geometry required for 8mm Domino XL tenon joinery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this bit compatible with the Festool DF500 as well as the DF700?
According to the product data, this bit is specified for use with the Festool DF700. Compatibility with the DF500 is not confirmed in the source data for this particular bit - verify machine compatibility with CMT or Festool before purchasing for use with the DF500.
What type of materials can this router bit be used on?
This bit is designed to rout slots on solid wood and wood composites, including materials such as chipboard, MDF, and plywood, when used with a Domino joinery machine.
What does the PTFE coating on the spiral portion do?
The black PTFE coating applied to the spiral portion of the bit resists pitch, resin, and glue buildup during cutting. This helps the bit move freely through the material and contributes to longer service life by reducing friction and contamination on the flutes.
What shank type does this bit use and how does it mount to the machine?
This bit uses an M8x1mm threaded shank, which threads directly into the Festool DF700 spindle. This threaded connection provides a secure fit suited to the oscillating cutting motion of Domino joinery machines.
