If your Domino tenons are too tight when using the Festool Power Tool, the most common cause is that the tenons have absorbed moisture from a humid environment and swelled. Store the tenons in a cool, dry environment. Also, the mortising bit may have been improperly sharpened or sharpened too many times. Consider replacing the bit.
Why Festool Domino DF 500 motor does not start?
If your Festool Power Tool motor isn't starting, here are a few things to check: * Ensure the power cord is properly plugged into the outlet. * Verify the Plug-it connector is fully inserted and tightened. * Confirm the outlet has power by checking the circuit breaker or trying another outlet. * If using a Festool dust extractor, ensure the selector switch is set to 'Auto'. * Inspect the power cord for any damage. * The motor brushes may be worn and require replacement.
What to do if Domino tenons are too loose with Festool Power Tool?
If the Domino tenons are too loose when using your Festool Power Tool, ensure you're holding the Domino joiner firmly while plunging the mortise slot. Also, verify that the mortise width setting is correct and that you're using the appropriate mortising bit for the Domino tenon size. The Domino tenons may have shrunk in an overly dry or warm environment, which is normal wood movement. Finally, check the mortising bit to make sure it is not bent, as this can create a wider mortise slot.
How to prevent tapered mortise slot with Festool Domino DF 500 Power Tool?
If you're experiencing a tapered mortise slot where the Domino tenon only fits part way in when using your Festool Power Tool, the plunge speed is likely too fast, preventing the bit from cutting the sides properly. Slow down the plunge speed.
What to do if workpiece joint won’t close with Festool Domino DF 500 Power Tool?
If your workpiece joint won't close, leaving gaps between the pieces when using the Festool Power Tool, consider these points: * Ensure the proper plunge depth is set. * Make sure the joiner is tight to the face of the workpiece. * The mortising bit may have been sharpened too many times and is too short. * Excessive dust may be present inside the linear slide. * Excessive glue may be present at the bottom of the mortise.
What causes tilted or misaligned mortise slots with Festool Power Tool?
If you're getting tilted or misaligned mortise slots with your Festool Power Tool, check the following: * Ensure the fence is set to the correct angle (e.g., 90 degrees). * Make sure to hold the Domino joiner firmly to the work surface.
How to fix tearout or rough mortise slots with Festool Domino DF 500 Power Tool?
If you're experiencing tearout or rough mortise slots with your Festool Power Tool, consider the following: * Your plunging speed might be too fast; slow it down. * Low-grade materials and plywoods are more prone to tearout than solid woods. Decreasing your plunging speed will improve the results but may not eliminate the problem completely. * The mortising bit may be dull.
What to do if Festool Domino DF 500 Power Tool plunging action is not smooth?
