4. OFFSET JOINTS (SEE FIGURE 22)
You may wish to have a deliberate offset
between two workpieces. This is easily
accomplished with your plate joiner by
performing the following steps.
FIG 22
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 (FIGURE 23)
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.
FIG 23
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
24).
C.
Clamp the workpiece
and align the
tool as shown
in Figure 25.
D.
Turn on the tool and make the
plunge
cut.
E.
Glue, assemble
and clamp
the joint.
F.
For joints other than 90 ° see
