Corner joints are another common and excellent application for
biscuit joinery. Follow the procedure below.
A. Arrange the workpieces exactly as they are to be joined.
B. Select the biscuit size and layout the biscuit locations.
C. Set up the tool by selecting the proper depth setting, adjusting the
fence to center on the stock thickness and setting the angle to 90°.
D. For this joint, you will make cuts into the edge of one workpiece
and the face of another. The edge cut is performed the same
as for edge to edge joints. The face cut is made by clamping the
workpiece and aligning the tool as shown in Figure 23. Turn the
tool on, make the plunge cut and repeat for each layout mark.

You may wish to have a deliberate offset between two workpieces.
This is easily accomplished with your plate joiner by performing the
following steps.

the biscuit locations.
B. Set up the tool by selecting the proper biscuit size and adjusting
the fence angle to 90°. Select the workpiece that will be set back
and adjust the fence height to center the cut within the thickness
of that piece.
C. Clamp the workpiece, align the tool and make the plunge cut.
