CMT Router Bit for Domino XL Joining - 10mm Right-Hand by CMT is a precision-engineered spiral router bit built specifically for use with the Festool DF700 Domino joinery machine. Designed to cut clean, accurate mortise slots in solid wood and wood composite panels, this bit delivers the consistent, tight-fitting results that furniture makers, cabinetmakers, and finish carpenters depend on for strong loose-tenon joinery. With a 10mm diameter, a 70mm cutting height, and a 90mm total length, it is purpose-built for the demanding tolerances the Domino joining system requires.

Key Features

• Extra-fine micrograin carbide spiral cutting portion - harder and more wear-resistant than standard carbide, this extends usable tool life and maintains sharpness through repeated cuts in solid hardwood and wood composites.
• Premium quality super-strength steel body - provides the rigidity needed to maintain precise slot geometry under the oscillating action of the Festool DF700, reducing deflection and keeping mortises on-dimension.
• Black PTFE coating on the spiral portion - prevents pitch, resin, and glue buildup during cutting, reducing friction and heat so the bit stays cleaner and cuts more freely across extended use sessions.
• 2 cutting edges with 2 spiral flutes (Z2) - balanced geometry promotes smooth chip evacuation from the slot, minimizing tearout and producing flat-bottomed mortises with clean side walls.
• M8x1mm shank - matches the proprietary spindle thread of the Festool DF700, ensuring a secure, vibration-free connection with no adapter required.
• Right-hand rotation (RH) - correct directional specification for the Festool Domino DF700 drive system, so the bit seats and tightens under load rather than backing out.

Why This Product

• Purpose-designed for the Festool DF700 Domino machine with an M8x1mm shank thread - this is not a generic bit adapted with an aftermarket fixture, so fit and concentricity are correct from the first cut.
• The 70mm cutting height enables deep mortise slots suited to the larger Domino XL tenons used in heavier furniture frames and wide panel assemblies, where shorter bits would not reach full depth.
• The combination of micrograin carbide and PTFE spiral coating makes this bit well suited to both solid hardwood and wood composites like MDF and chipboard - materials that blunt standard carbide faster or generate adhesive-like resins that clog flutes.
• With 2 spiral flutes and a 10mm diameter matched to the Domino XL tenon width, each pass produces a finished-width slot without secondary sizing cuts, keeping workflow efficient during furniture assembly and cabinet production.
