Overview

The biscuit joiner is designed for the cutting and joining of 

timber. It provides an accurate, effective and convenient 

alternative to other means of jointing such as dowelling and 

can be particularly useful for edge jointing long boards of 

either natural wood or manufactured sheeting.
The 100mm TCT blade is plunged into the wood to the 

required depth, which is pre-set depending on the biscuit to 

be used.

Glue is applied and the biscuit is inserted into the elliptical 

slot that is left by the blade. As the glue sets, it expands the 

biscuit, resulting in an extremely strong joint. 

The adjustable fence allows the height and angle of the 

blade to be positioned to suit different joint requirements. 

The depth of cut can be set on the depth of cut control dial, 

depending on the biscuit to be used. The joiner can also be 

used to create a continuous groove, the width of which can 

be increased simply by adjusting the fence up or down and 

carrying out several passes.

Adjusting the cutting depth

The depth of cut can be set to match the dimensions of the 

particular size biscuit being used. 
The numbers on the depth adjustment dial (0, 10 & 20) 

coincide with the three most common biscuit sizes. The 

letter ‘M’ stands for maximum depth capacity of the tool.
The table below indicates the cutting depth for each setting.

The width of a biscuit may vary due to variances in 

manufacture. The blade has been designed to allow fitment 

of the largest biscuits in the slot cut. Sometimes you may 

need to sort out the correct sizes, or even moisten the 

biscuits slightly to achieve a tight fit where required. 
Glue is applied and the biscuit inserted into the semicircular 

slot that is left by the blade, and the biscuit swells up taking 

away any looseness in the joint.
1. To select a depth, align the 

appropriate number with the 

mark on the tool’s housing. 

2. Rotate the depth adjustment 

dial to the desired position until 

it “clicks” into place (fig A).
