Frame joints
Mitred biscuit joints can be cut using
a slot template and guide bush. An
angled batten is clamped to the
workpiece and the template is
slotted to take the two fixing and
adjusting screws.
Alternatively, an angled batten can
be clamped parallel to the mitred
edge, allowing the router’s side fence
to be used.
Frame joints can be
biscuit jointed in a
similar fashion as
edge to edge
joints, by clamping
levelling blocks
either side of the
frame member to
balance the router.
Mitred frame joints
can be cut in a similar
way, but with the levelling
blocks cut at an angle to align
through with the
mitre face.
