F.
Glue, assemble
and clamp the joint.
For stock thicker
than 1", you may
wish to use double
biscuits
at each
location.
Set the height adjustment
to allow at least 3/16" of stock
between
the biscuit
and the edge of
the work surface.
Make all cuts at
this fence setting
before
readjusting
the fence for the lower cuts. Again,
there should
be at least 3/16" of
stock between
the biscuit
and the
outside
wall and between
the
biscuits
themselves
(see .Figure 17).

2. FRAME
JOINTS
Frame joints are an ideal application
for
biscuit joinery.
With the plate joiner you
can create a very strong,
precise
joint that
is much faster
to make than a dowel or
mortise
and tenon
joint. Figure
18 shows
two types of frame joints.
Follow the steps
outlined
below.
FIG 18
A.
Arrange
the workpieces
on a flat
work surface
exactly
as they are to
be assembled.
B.
Select the proper biscuit
size based
on the length
of the joint.
If the
frame pieces
are too narrow
for a
#0 biscuit,
you will have to allow the
biscuit
tip to protrude
slightly.
Tl'ten
trim the tip off after the joint is dry
(see Figure
12).
C.
Lay out the biscuit
locations.
D.
Set up the tool by selecting
the
depth that corresponds
to the
chosen
bisc_Jit size. Lock the fence
at 90 ° and adjust the fence
height
to center
the biscuit
on the stock
thickness.
E.
Clamp
the workpiece
and position
the Plate Joiner
to make the first
cut (see Figure
19).

F.
Turn on the tool and make the
plunge
cut.
G.
Repeat
for each layout mark.
H.
Glue, assemble
and clamp the
frame.
3. CORNER
JOINTS
(SEE FIGURE
20)
Corner
joints are another
common
and
excellent
application
for biscuit
joinery.
Follow the procedure
below.
A.
Arrange
the workpieces
exactly
as
they are to be joined.
B.
Select the biscuit
size and layout
the biscuit
locations.
C.
Set up the tool by selecting
the
proper
depth setting,
adjusting
the
fence to center
on the stock
thickness
and setting
the angle to
90 ° .
D.
For this joint, you will make cuts
into the edge of one workpiece
and
the face of another.
The edge cut is
performed
the same as for edge to
edge joints.
The face cut is made
by clamping
the workpiece
and
aligning
the tool as shown
in
