Operation overview

A biscuit joiner is ideal for making a variety of strong  

and accurate joints, the most common are:

Edge to Edge 

 

      Mitre Joints

 

 

Butt Joints 

 

      T Joints

 

 

To cut the biscuit slot, the body of the joiner is moved 

toward the material. By utilising the various features of the 

tool you can create a wide range of different types of joints.
Always make a reference line 

to line up the machine with 

the centre of the material to 

be plunged to ensure accurate 

biscuit placement.

Operation – Making a cut

1. Adjust the height of the fence as required for  

the application.

2. Adjust the bevel angle of the fence as required  

for the application.

3. Mark the cutting line on the workpiece.
4. Line up the cutting guide located at the front of the fence 

with the cutting line on the workpiece and place the 

biscuit joiner against the workpiece.

5. Turn on the biscuit joiner using the on/off switch.
6. Whilst holding the rear handle push the biscuit joiner 

forward so that the blade plunges into the workpiece.

7. Allow the return spring to retract the blade from the slot 

and then switch off.

Making an edge to edge joint

 

 

Centreline Mark(s)

1. Position the 2 pieces together and draw a reference mark 

at 90º to the centre point of each proposed joint location. 

Space the joints about 4 inches apart.

2. Set the cutting depth to suit the biscuits you are using. 

Generally, #20 biscuits suit most applications. If you are 

using stock that is 19/32 inch thick or less, you will need 

smaller biscuits.

3. Adjust the height of the fence as required.
4. Place the cutting guide at the centre point of each  

slot in turn and press the fence against the edge  

of the workpiece.
