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 22. Turn
the tool on, make the plunge cut and repeat for each layout mark.
E. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.
4. OFFSET JOINTS (See Figure 23)
You may wish to have a deliberate offset between two workpieces. This is easily
accomplished with your plate joiner by performing the following steps.
A. Arrange the workpieces as they are to be assembled and layout 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.
D. Next, adjust the fence up by an amount equal to the desired offset. Use the scale and
pointer located on the right side of the tool under the fence lock knob.
E. Clamp the second workpiece, align the tool and make the plunge cut.
F. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.
5. EDGE MITER JOINTS (See Figure 24)
Edge miters are most commonly used in box structures or for making multisided pedestals
where you would like to hide the end grain. Once again, biscuit joinery is an outstanding
method to use both for added strength as well as ease of assembly. Follow the steps
below to assemble a 90° joint.
A. Position the workpieces as they are to be assembled and layout biscuit locations on
the outside of the joint.
B. Set up tool by first setting fence angle to 90°. Make the fence adjustment such that the
biscuit is located toward the inside of the joint where the material is thicker, then select
the biscuit size so that the blade does not protrude through the outside wall when the
cut is made (see Figure 25).
C. Clamp the workpiece and align the tool as shown in column in Figure 26.
D. Turn on the tool and make the plunge cut.
E. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.
F. For joints other than 90° see outside registration column Figure 27 for proper fence
angle setting.
The above method will produce a joint where the outside surfaces of the joint are aligned.
If you wish to produce a joint where the inside surfaces are aligned, use the following
procedures for a 90° joint.
A. Position workpieces as they are to be assembled.
B. Layout biscuit locations on the inside of the angle.
C. Set up tool by setting fence angle to 45°. Set vertical fence adjustment so that the
biscuit is located toward the inside of the joint where material is thicker. Select biscuit
size so that the blade does not protrude through the outside face of the material.
D. Clamp the workpiece and align the tool as shown in Figure 28.
E. Make the plunge cut and repeat for all biscuit locations.
F. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.
G. For joints other than 90° see inside registration column in Figure 27 for proper fence
angle setting.
6. T-JOINTS (Figure 29)
Biscuit joining is a viable alternative to dadoing when making a T-joint. T-joints are most
commonly used when attaching shelves to the sides of a case. The method described
below will work if your shelf material is at least 5/8" thick.
A. Place the workpieces on a work surface exactly as you will be assembling them in the
form of an upside down "T." Mark lightly along the joint where the top of the shelf is to
end up (see Figure 30). Mark biscuit locations at the joint interface on the shelf piece
only.
B. Lay the shelf down on the mating workpiece. Clamp the two workpieces together and
to the work surface in this position (see Figure 31).
C. Set up the tool by selecting the proper biscuit size and setting the adjustable fence
angle at 0°.
D. Using the bottom registration surface, align the tool with the biscuit location marks
and make a vertical and a horizontal plunge cut for each biscuit location as shown in
Figure 32.
E. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.
