DF500 R geometry crib sheet?

[Stevenski]

Is anyone aware of a schematic/table/list/crib sheet with the geometries for the DF500 mortice cuts at different settings? ie distances from reference faces and edges, thickness and widths at each setting etc?

I'd like to have a handy cheat sheet that would help me in laying out a project I am working on that will have lots of mortices

I seem to recall seeing something like that but cannot recall where

Is this what you're looking for or something else?

I got slightly different sizes when I was measuring the results to make my own tenons.

Thank you Gentlemen! That's 90% of what I am looking for

Am I correct in thinking that when using eg the 20mm thickness settings the center of the mortice will be at 10mm from the reference face?

The 4mm cutter is shorter than the others, so the width increase should be less too.

Yes, but best still reference from the same side. And test on scrap

It's been posted on the FOG before but a fantastic reference resource on the DF500 is this site.

There is a crib sheet here which I have found useful to print out and keep in the Domino systainer.

Unfortunately the site pre-dates the introduction of the 4mm Domino!

Tada! Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner!!
Thank you so much - exactly what I was looking for.

I just quickly scanned a couple of pages of the article but already I like it:

"You've heard the story of the three blind guys and the elephant - the guy holding the elephant's trunk is sure it's a BIG snake, the one holding an ear thinks it's some sort of weird bird and the guy at a front leg is certain it's a tree trunk he's feeling. Well the Festool DOMINO is sort of like that.

The guy at the back -"It's a barrel grip saber saw!"

The guy at the front - "It's got to be a biscuit joiner!"

The poor guy in the middle is just plain confused. There's a nob, a sliding click stopped "set of stairs", two levers and a button.

If any of them could see they'd notice the weird green things scattered over the tool."
