This is a domino joiner cutter bit designed for routing 5 mm slots in solid wood and wood composites. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003e380.050.11\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you run a Festool DF500 and need a dedicated 5 mm cutter for accurate mortises, this is the part that does that job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe core numbers here are straightforward and useful: a 5 mm cutting diameter, 20 mm cutting length, and 49 mm overall length. In real use, that means the bit is sized for smaller Domino joinery work where you want controlled, clean mortises without overcutting the stock. The spiral cut design and two flutes are there for a reason: they help the bit cut efficiently and clear material as it plunges into the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eCMT builds this bit from solid carbide, which is the big story. On a cutter like this, material matters because it directly affects edge life, heat resistance, and how well the bit keeps cutting clean after repeated plunges. Supplementing that, CMT also lists a black PTFE coating that helps reduce residue buildup and overheating. That is not just a spec sheet detail. On repetitive joinery work, less buildup means more consistent cutting and less time stopping to clean the cutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe bit also features a center point along with two cutting edges and two spiral flutes. That combination is meant to support controlled entry into the material and stable cutting through the full mortise. For cabinet parts, face frames, trim assemblies, and smaller furniture components, that control is what helps keep the slot where you want it and the joint fitting the way it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eCompatibility is clearly defined. This bit is listed for use on Domino machines and specifically calls out the Festool DF500. The shank thread is M6 x 0.75 mm, which is one of the fitment details you do not want to get wrong when ordering a replacement cutter. If you are replacing a worn 5 mm DF500 cutter or keeping a spare on hand so the machine never sits idle, this is the information that matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThis is not a general-purpose straight router bit for a handheld router table setup. It is a machine-specific joinery accessory for Domino-style slot cutting. That makes it a better fit for woodworkers, finish carpenters, cabinet installers, and serious DIY users already working in the Festool Domino system. If you own the DF500 and regularly cut 5 mm mortises, this is the kind of replacement part worth having before you need it, not after the current cutter is already dull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClean Mortises for Small Joinery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n          \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.anglera.com\/assets\/74d6ed76-fe0d-4d23-a9db-1f8749ca9ef2\/2026052070_2.jpg\" alt=\"CMT 380.050.11 Compatible with Domino Jointing Machine by Festool DF500 - Solid Carbide Bit, 5mm (13\/64-Inch), M6x0.75mm Shank used for loose tenon joinery in wood board stock during furniture or cabinet assembly\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n          \u003cp\u003eIf you are cutting slots for 5 mm loose tenons, this bit is built for that exact work.
