Which accessory suits your workpiece?
Narrow strips, rails, and spindles
For stock 22–70 mm wide, the LA-DF 500/700 trim stop is designed to help position mortises in strip ends. Festool says it supports both centered and off-center positioning, so it can be useful when a narrow part needs a controlled reference rather than an improvised layout. Confirm that your stock falls within the stated width range.
Repeat spacing along an edge
The QA-DF 500/700 cross stop is for setting repeated mortise spacing from 100–205 mm. Its adjustable pins register against the workpiece edge or a previous mortise, making it suited to runs where consistent indexing is preferable to measuring and marking every location independently.
Round stock
The RA-DF 500/700 handrail fence centers the joiner on round material with a diameter of 35–60 mm. Measure the workpiece before choosing it; the stated fit is based on diameter, not the length or shape of the stock.

More support or a closer stop reference
The ZA-DF 500/700 additional stop increases the bearing surface and changes the lateral reference from the stop catches to the DOMINO center: 20 mm rather than 37 mm. This is the relevant accessory when that closer reference or added support suits the setup; check whether it is already included in your machine package.
Do the DF 500 accessories fit the DF 700?
Festool’s listed pages for these four accessories specify compatibility with the DF 500, DF 500 R, DFC 500, and DF 700. Verify the current product page for your region and your exact tool variant before purchasing, since listings and packages can change. Festool DOMINO joiner listings

Check your set before ordering
Accessory contents depend on the package. The Festool USA listing reviewed for the DF 500 RQ-Set includes a DOMINO cutter, additional stop, trim stop, and cross stop; that bundle should not be assumed to describe every DF 500 or DF 700 package or regional listing. Compare your kit’s inventory with the task you want to solve before ordering an accessory. Festool DF 500 RQ-Set listing
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Keep cutters and tenons separate from accessory selection
Stops and fences help position the joiner; cutters and DOMINO tenons are separate system components. Festool’s listing for beech DOMINO tenons D 10×50/510 BU states that DF 500 tenon sizes range from 4 × 20 mm to 10 × 50 mm. Check the correct cutter and tenon size for your machine and joint rather than treating a positioning accessory as a substitute for the right consumable.
