Hey everyone, I'm working on a table using my smaller Domino DF 500 and I want to create longer and deeper domino joints. Specifically, I need to make mortises that are 10 mm wide and at least 50 mm deep. Is there a longer 10 mm bit available or perhaps a bit extender that can help me achieve this depth? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I don't have a direct answer, but just a heads up: the Domino 700 model can go as deep as 70 mm. However, you might want to think about whether you really need that extra depth. It’s important that the depth of your mortise matches the thickness of your tenon for proper strength. Are you planning on using 5 mm tenons? Some say that extra depth doesn't really contribute much in terms of strength.
Actually, I'm using 10 mm tenons! The extra length would help with glue surface area. I know it’s a niche requirement, but if there's a solution, even if it's a bit complicated, I'd love to hear it.
