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. Lay out 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 27.
E. Make the plunge cut and repeat for
all biscuit locations.

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
will go (see Figure 28). Mark biscuit
locations at the joint interface on
the shelf piece only.

g.
Lay the shelf down on the mating
workpiece. Clamp the two
workpieces together and to the
work surface in this position (see
Figure 29).
