CMT Router Bit for Domino Joining - 10mm Right-Hand (RH) is a precision-engineered mortise slot cutter built specifically for use with the Festool DF500 Domino joinery machine. Designed to rout clean, accurate slots in solid wood and wood composite panels, this 10mm bit brings professional-grade performance to furniture joinery, cabinet assembly, and loose-tenon woodworking. With an extra-fine micrograin carbide spiral, a PTFE non-stick coating, and a 2-flute geometry, the CMT 380.100.11 delivers consistent, repeatable mortise cuts that fit Domino loose tenons precisely every time.

Key Features

• Extra-fine micrograin carbide spiral portion - provides superior edge retention and cut quality, reducing tear-out in solid hardwood and wood composite materials for cleaner mortise walls and flat-bottomed slots.
• Black P.T.F.E. spiral coating - prevents resin, pitch, and glue buildup on the bit body during Domino slot routing, extending tool life and reducing cleanup time between cuts.
• Premium quality super-strength steel body - gives the bit exceptional rigidity under the oscillating motion of the Festool DF500, maintaining dimensional accuracy even during high-frequency use.
• 2 cutting edges (Z2) with 2 spiral flutes - balanced chip evacuation and smooth cutting action in both solid wood and wood composites, resulting in less heat buildup and longer cutting life.
• M6x0.75mm shank - matches the proprietary Festool DF500 tool interface directly, ensuring a secure, vibration-free fit with no adapters required.
• Right-hand (RH) rotation - correctly matched to the DF500 spindle direction, ensuring proper cutting engagement and safe, predictable operation.
• 28mm cutting height with 49mm total length - sized precisely for Domino-style mortise slot depths, producing consistent tenon pocket geometry across every workpiece.

Why This Product

• Engineered for the Festool DF500 specifically - the M6x0.75mm shank, 10mm diameter, and right-hand rotation are matched exactly to the DF500 machine interface, eliminating guesswork and compatibility concerns when replacing or upgrading the factory bit.
• Carbide-grade cutting performance in a compact form - the extra-fine micrograin carbide spiral cuts wood composites such as MDF, chipboard, and plywood just as cleanly as solid hardwood, making this bit versatile across a wide range of joinery applications.
• P.T.F.E. coating reduces downtime - woodworkers running high volumes of Domino joints benefit from the non-stick coating, which keeps the spiral clear of adhesive and pitch residue so the bit stays sharp and effective longer between cleanings.
• Precision slot geometry for tight-fitting tenons - the 10mm cutting diameter, 28mm cutting height, and 2-flute spiral work together to produce mortise pockets that accept 10mm Domino loose tenons with the fit accuracy required for strong, gap-free furniture and cabinet joints.
