FLAT MITER JOINTS
(Continued)
•
Depress the switch trigger and let the motor build
to its maximum speed, then gradually push Biscuit
Joiner forward to extend the blade into the wood.
•
When the base assembly bottoms out against the
depth of cut adjustment knob setting, pull back
releasing pressure on the spring. Blade wilt retract
from biscuit slot.
•
Repeat this procedure for cutting mating slot and all
required miter joint slots.
•
Once all slots have been cut, place a biscuit in
each joint and dry assemble the workpieces. Make
sure each joint lines up and fits.
•
Finally, disassemble the workpieces and place a
bead of glue in each slot. Also, spread a bead of
glue over the entire surface of the joint. Reinsert
the biscuits and assemble the workpieces. See
Figure 16.
•
Clamp workpieces together until the glue sets up.
HOW TO MAKE EDGE MITER JOINTS
•
Unplug your Detail Biscuit Joiner.
•
Place the pieces of wood to be joined on a level
workbench as shown in Figure 17.

•
Mark centerline of the joint on each board.
•
When making edge miter joints with workpieces
that have different thicknesses, clamp securely to a
workbench with the long sides up. This will assure
that the outside surfaces will match. See Figure 18.
•
Set fence angle at 45 °.
•
Slide the fence up or down until fence height is at
desired setting.
•
Tighten height adjustment knobs securely.
•
Place your Biscuit Joiner on workpiece with the
fence resting on the long side of workpiece as
shown in Figure 18. The front base should be
against the mitered edge of the workpiece.

•
Recheck fence height setting to make sure it will
not cut through the workpiece.
•
Align indicator mark on fence with the centerline on
the workpiece. Make sure the front base is pressed
flat against the mitered edge of the workpiece.
•
Plug your Biscuit Joiner into power supply and
prepare to cut slot.
•
Depress the switch trigger and let the motor build
to its maximum speed, then gradually push Biscuit
Joiner forward to extend the blade into the wood.
