4. OFFSET JOINTS (Fig. 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 (Fig. 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 (Fig. 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 injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
